I'm not a good enough shooter to tell the difference between aluminum and carbon straightness. BUT my pocketbook notices that I haven't been spending as much to buy carbon arrows as I used to in aluminum. It's about not beingbent, creased, broken, etc.

I shoot gold tip expedition 3555 they are to a plus or - 2 gr and have a straightness of plus or - 0.006. expensive but have lasted me a lot longer than my old 78s. been 3 yrs and havent broke one yet. be sure to paper tune that will tell you if you need a heavier or lighter spine. there is a article on this sight about the paper shooting be sure if your a lefty like me to read the bottom or the article, im bass ackwards!
Hey cales0822, you can't lose or break them until you take them out of the closet. You ain't shootin enough. And GT Expeditions aren't the expensive ones, unless somebody ripped you off. Expeditions are entry level so should not have cost more than about $50/doz.
