I look at the ebow as a way to come up with sounds that you would hear from keyboards or horns. Another way to use it is to back up some traditional guitar parts. For instance when my band plays Cream's White Room, I back up the opening part (the one with the bolero back beat) with the ebow. Also, listen to the band Collective Soul. Their ex guitarsist Ross Childress used one quite a bit. Hope this helps.
BTW, what doe your rig consist of?
