Default Penetration: shaft diameter vs. weight

I need to select new hunting arrows soon.

What affects penetration more?
The kinetic energy of the arrow, its momentum, or shaft diameter?

I've heard a number of arguments:
Some say it's KE, the guys who like heavier shafts swear by momentum, and now I've heard shaft diameter affects it too.
Which is the most important aspect of an arrow's ability to penetrate?
