I use my bow with a ice bow string from maximum effect against them.
(TBH the actual damage output on a standard hit does not vary that greatly, its when you use skills you see the difference)

I have the following max dmg bows and I don't use incind, ignite, etc: Ebon, Icy, Fire, Sundering, Vamperic, Lightning and Poisoners. Sure enough icy does more damage to fire imps, but my fire bow still wallops them hard (as hard as my vamp, ebon, sund, lightning). Beside the point, I find that fire damage does more or equal damage in about 90% of the monsters in the game. I don't think I have found anything PvE that takes more ebon or lightning damage. Holy damage is about the only other damage type I know of that is equal to fire damage in PvE.
Even in the desert I find myself using the fire bow over my icy bow.
