Assorted woods (POC, sitka spruce.  Hickory is next up to try.  Doubt I'll ever settle) and Gold Tip Traditional carbons so far.  I shoot the woods out of my selfbow and the carbons from my recurves and Bear Montana longbow.  They all fly like darts and do the job.  Fun to mess with too.

Carbon - IMO it's way cheaper than wood or aluminum in the long run and it seems to do its job pretty well.

I would choose carbon or wood.  I just started tinkering a bit with carbon out of my stickbows and really like it so far.  Surprised how easy it was to tune.  

I was trying aluminum (still am I guess) and I'm really kind of surprised at how easily they've been bending when shot a lot.  

I like wood also and a good wood shaft will stand up to some abuse I know this much.  Plus, it's just fun to work with and smells good.
