i shoot mostly 400s for my 50 and up bows...

Ian,
Assuming from your collection of bows listed, I would think between 400 and 500 spine should work.
All depends on how much weight you are adding to the front.
Also assuming shafts will be a minimum of 30".

so would like a goldtip 35\\55 30in bop arrow with 200gr up front work?

Ian,for me to set up a bow that weight,drawn to 29" and an actual 30" in length,I would need app. 225 grs of point weight on 5575's.I think 3555's would be too weak for the point weight you are thinking of.For my setups,at least,changing from one spine group to the next,requires a point weight difference well over 100 grs.I think the 3575's would probably need a point weight about half what you are considering.

ok thanks

Try something in a .400 spine, like 55/75s full length with 200 - 300grs up front.
