Default help me

I have a Hoyt Ultratech and I am trying to figure out what type of arrow to hunt with this year. My first question is do I refer to the cam and a half as a hard cam when selecting shafts?
I need a 26 inch arrow w/ a 75 gr. muzzy 3 blade fixed head, I shoot 65-70 lbs, and I plan on shooting helical fletches at 4 or 5 inches. I am not sure whether to shoot aluminum or carbon. I have shot both and was thinking that the superior straightness and better matched spine of aluminum would be good for hunting but would miss the speed of carbon. My question to all of you is what do you think would be best as far the proper selection of arrow? I am open to anything. I was leaning towards Easton SS but am troubled by the increased weight and therefore the slowing in speed.
What I would really appreciate is if someone could run the figures through an archery program to see what kind of arrow matches up well. I have looked at beman, carbon express, and easton carbons as well so as you can see I am open to suggestions. I am also concerned about acheiving a good FOC to improve broadhead flight. Thank you in advance.

Open to anything? At the risk of sounding like a broken record, ACCs, hands down.

Best of both worlds. Consistent spine, weigth and straightness that lasts longer than a month or so, light enough to get the speed you want, more durable than aluminum if you use some common sense...

Get 6, I' m guessing 3/49s, and never look back...
