Easton Axis arrows are a great choice also.

Groan.... I use Easton Black Stalkers 31" that I buy at Walmarts... mainly for practice... I found that after you shoot them about 30 or 40 times in a day's worth of targets you can pretty much retire them for more....

Well I think I've got it narrowed down to Easton Axis Obsession which a 400 is 9.8 gpi which is what is needed with a 28 inch draw shooting my weight. Unless I bump up to a 29 inch arrow which is probably ok I guess I could use the 340's which are 10.3 gpi..
OR, the Carbon Express Cx Edge which at the 350's they are 10.3 gpi and would work with my setup just fine according to the charts.
Only problem is that these are smaller diameter arrows. (about .277 to .288 or somewhere in there) and honestly I'm not sure if that would work ok with a W.B. I'm guessing it would be fine but has anyone had any experience with the smaller arrows and the W.B. I really like using that rest for the simple fact of odd shooting situations that may come up when tree stand hunting..
If the size would be an issue then I could just use something like the CX Terminator's I guess..

Okay.. Well my bow is pulling 64 lbs and it's a 28 in draw so I took the advise of the Easton Website.. Today I bought a dozen and a half of the Axis Obsession 400's (9.8gpi) and cut them at 28inches. I switched broadheads from Muzzy 3 blades to Montec 3blade 100grain.. The Montec fit those arrows much better, they didn't really hang over on the bottom's like the Muzzy's did..
