Thunder Builds
Meta Thunder: Archbeast Paragon
Generally speaking, bow builds would prefer to retain as much elemental damage as possible. However, due to the unique nature of Thunder weak monsters having a high raw hit zone bias. A relatively raw skewed build would prove to be superior.
The Furious Rajang bow is a straight line upgrade to Fugur Anjanath Bow.
The terrible thunder hzv and lack of good thunder bows makes this bow stand out despite its high raw.

Water Builds
Meta Water: Royal North Wing
The anomaly of this list but for a good reason.
Royale north wing is both strong and expensive. A hefty cost for fashion and power.
Meta alternative: Laguna Shot II
As Royal North Wing is event exclusive and less accessible.
The best alternative is then the Laguna shot.

Dragon Builds
Meta Dragon: Deathbow Vaal Velos
What about Dragonbone Aldbow ?
The clutch claw mechanic and the rebalancing of ele mods forced the raw portion of bow's damage to play a larger role. Therefore, Vaal Hazak bow will outperform as long as you use power coatings.
This doesn't mean that the Aldbow doesn't have favourable matchups, in fact, just 1 in the form of savage Devil Jho. But the overall difference is minimal and they both use similar builds.
Feel free to use one over the other and don't stress about it.
