Well, to be completely honest, I'm not really into either of those builds. Spears are heavy weapons - you won't get many attacks per turn and they don't have a form of cc in their repertoire, as well. This means that you'd want to be able to take a hit after you've finished your turn.
From my own experience with crossbows I'd say that 200 effective skill isn't great in terms of accuracy. You really do want to use the inherent high range those weapons have, especially for the versatile bolts.
For DOMINATING I'd advise for 230-240 effective thought control. It will get the job done beautifully. For Metathermics either go full in or don't go in at all. 130 effective skill won't give you much utility. Just immunity to fire. Up to you to decide if you think that's a great trade off.
If you ask me - I'd focus on crossbow more. Crossbows, unlike AR or SMG really do need full investment in terms of skill points and feats in order to shine. I'd go with at least 14 Perception, full crossbow skill investment, and make the spears as a side weapon for crits when the enemy comes too close. With Critical Power on, enough skill points in Melee for feats and a decent crafted spear, they will deal massive damage. That will, in my opinion, give you more reliable versatility in terms of ranged and melee combat while leaving enough skill points to make use of Crafting and Throwing. When it comes to a Crossbow/Psi hybrid, I'd say that the combination looks rather underwhelming. Psi hybrids, in my opinion, need to be paired with weapons that can be good even when not fully invested in. For example - SMGs, ARs, Melee Gloves, Spears, Shotguns. So if you want to go Crossbow/Psi I definitely think that it's one of the weaker combinations in the game. Stick to Throwing/Three-Pointer. It's pretty decent, especially with MKV 'nades.
Another point that I frequently make is to lower your Subterfuge and increase your Crafting. The earlier you get to 150ish effective Crafting, the earlier you'll be able to make the really good weapons/shields/armours. Mercantile is another thing that will greatly help you in this case.
