Like Paul, I prefer wood arrows. It really isn't because of the traditional aspect though. I have tried carbons and aluminum as well. Carbons are tough; there is no doubt of that, but getting them to shoot well can get pretty involved: inserts, tubes, etc.
I find cedar arrows to be much more forgiving, easier to tune, and WAY quieter than either carbon or aluminum. They are also fun to make. The same arrows shoot great from all of my bows. I can't say that for carbons.
If you are only drawing 26.5, I think the 5575's are going to be pretty stiff. I draw 28" and found that 29" Carbon Express Terminator Hunters with 100 grain inserts and 125 grain broadheads or field tips shoot very well from my son's 50 pound Herter's recurve and fairly well from my 55 pound longbow, but were way too stiff for my 45 pound recurve.
Shoot what works for you. 3Rivers will sell you a sample pack so you can try different spine weights to find the one that works best. They are also a sponsor here. Good luck in your search.
