If you want to shoot carbons you might consider Arrow Dynamics. They are tapered, which really helps them get out of paradox quick, and makes them shootable out of a wide range of bows. I can shoot the Trad Lites out of all my bows, from 45 to 55 lbs, Longbow and Recurve by just changing point weight. The Trad's come in a nice looking woodgrain. Sure makes tuning easy. I shoot Carbon Express 3050 Thunderstorms also, especially at shoots where I know I'll be losing/breaking some. Several sponsors sell the AD's , but I got my first ones from Ted Fry at Raptor Archery. Give him a call and he'll get you all set-up. They also come up in the classifieds sometimes. I shoot the same weight as you, and draw 26" also, and find these two types of carbons to work very well for me. If you want to try the Thunderstorms send your address by PM and I'll send you a couple. That way you'll know if you like them before you invest in a bunch of them.
