Default Which of my arrows for hunting and why?

I have three different arrows I'm shooting and trying to decide which one I want to use this upcoming hunting season (whitetail, boar). I have weights and speeds of each.

26" Beman ICS Hunter 400's= 366gr at 283fps at 65.07ft-lbs.= faster, less drop, but noisier, least f.o.c.
28" Easton Excel 340's= 429gr at 263fps at 65.87ft-lbs= mid range speed, slightest k.e. difference, slightly quieter
28" Beman ICS Bowhunter 340's= 494gr at 247fps at 66.9ft-lbs = slowest, quietest, most kinetic energy, most f.o.c.

There isn't that big of a difference in kinetic energy so I'm debating which ones I'm going to hunt with. Give me reasons why one would be better than another. Maybe the difference is so slight it doesn't even matter, but
Which would you choose and why?
My setup is in my signature, but if any other info would be helpful let me know.
