If you are going to hunt, you simply can't go wrong with the Bisket.

Congrats on the SBXT! I have an Outback and I like it a lot. As far as the Whisker Bisquit or a drop away, I would choose a drop away. I had a WB and I liked it, but the one thing that I couldn't stand was the WB tore up my fletching. I found myself fletching arrows all the time. With a drop away, there isn't any fletching contact, so I don't fletch arrows near as often now. If you do decide to go with a WB, then I would invest in an arrow fletcher (if you don't already have one).

The Whisker Biscuit shouldn't tear up fletching if there aren't any clearance issues. Most folks use the 2" Blazers and put an extra drop of cement where the front of the vane meets the shaft. Great bow. Nice to be able to step into a bow of this caliber right out of the box.

I put a WB on my bow this year, Shooting 2" Blazers. put a drop of glue on the leading edge of the vane. So far I've had no problems with tear offs. I think you would be very happy with a WB.
