Our cleric is coming back so i dont need to be the Buff/healer character anymore. What kind of bow should I get? I know I want holy and holy surge enchantments on it. I am willing to spend my level 15 feat on it if the weapon requires a feat.

Standard weapon enchantments in the DMG.  Each deals +1d6 damage when you hit a creature with a specific alignment descriptor. Bows do use dexterity to attack, but you can get bows specially made that also let you add your Strength modifier to the damage.
