Another vote for JB weld. I use a bronze .243 cal bore brush and scrub inside of shaft and clean every thing up with Acetone. Let it set up for 24 hours and they will NEVER come out.

I have used most, but not all, of the products you have posted.  There is a lot of shock every time you fire the arrow, and with enough shocks, everything I've used eventually breaks loose.  I'm not sure I would want anything that is absolutely permanent anyway, since sometimes I want to change the arrow configuration and want to get the insert out.  Or, I miss the target and stick the arrow into wood and can't pull it out or twist the point out.  In those cases, if I pull hard enough to pull the insert out of the arrow shaft, at least I can save the arrow shaft.

So as a compromise, this is what I do: every now and then before shooting, I will put the arrow point into a vise and twist it tight.  This accomplishes two purposes: first, the arrow point is not inclined to twist loose as I shoot it; second, if the insert glue is about to break loose, it will probably break loose then, and I can pull the insert out and re-glue it before I shoot the arrow.  Since I started doing this, I have lost a lot less inserts in targets.

I use hot melt.

Here's my procedure:
1. Rough up insert with red scotchbrite and clean with acetone.
2. Dip a .270 bore brush in acetone and scrub the inside of the shaft. Finish cleaning with q-tip moistened with acetone.
3. Screw the biggest field point you have in the insert, get your glue just to the melting point, and heat the insert until you feel the warmth on your field point. Apply your hot melt in a ring at the base of the insert, heat just a bit more, and insert into arrow, twisting it continually until seated. This will evenly distribute the glue and center the insert in the shaft.
4. Stand on field point end and allow to cool.

Have used this procedure for years on Gold Tips and Carbon Express with excellent results.

Hope it works for you if you decide to try it.

 I tried it and ruined 2 dozen arrows...glue pushes through the insert in the back and fills the threads. I regret ever getting carbons and gorilla glue.  

I still am a firm believer in Gorilla glue and use nothing else now. When this happens just run a tap in the insert and your good to go

I use two part epoxy.  Like the other guys said, cleaning first is a big factor.  Good luck.
