My advise would be to try them all. I have been hunting for years, now and still can't make up my mind there are pro's and cons to each of them. But, try them both, you will not regret it. I have switched from using carbons last year back to Aluminum this year.
Yes, there is always a wide range of opinions here. That is what keeps this board going and I welcome it. Remember that archery is a lot about presonal preferences, and if something works for you then stick with it.
Welcome.
