I'm sold on Beman MFX Classics.

I like their small diameter for less friction on game animals(less surface area=less friction=better penetration). The small diameter also requires less fletch length than larger diameter arrows.

They're very straight and consistent(.003" straightness tolerance and low weight variance). Hey, I need all the help I can get! I don't need crooked arrows to add to my many shortcomings.

I also like it that they're a little heavier than a lot of the other carbons.

Lastly, I like the fact that they're a very tough arrow.

X2 I think you'll find your CE's are hard to beat.

Gold Tip traditionals.   Tough and cheap.  God Bless

I shoot Gold Tip XT Hunters. This is the mid-level line with straitness of .003" and weight matched to +/- 2 grains. I shoot these because that is what I pulled out of the arow bucket at the shop when I first got my go-to bow and was able to tune "just right". They are all good shafts and if you get the right spine you should be able to make any of those you listed work.

Gold tip traditionals for me..I've shot just about all of them but the AD's but gold tips are all I use now.

I've switched my thinking, now I just pick an arrow I would like, screw in the weight head I want and cut to length I want.  Then I just start buying bows until I find one that fits my arrows.  Conventional wisdom (your spouse) would say thats too expensive, but I feel more fun.

I'm surprised no votes for the Arrow Dynamics shafts.  Hands down the best shooting carbon arrow; for me anyway.

I'm a fan of Beman MFX Classics.  Ishoot hit all the reasons above for me.  

I have tried very few other carbon arrows in traditional equipment though.
