Ever think of trying ACC's or Full Metal Jackets?
I was thinking the same thing. I have used the Full Metals and they are very good arrows. Definitely could be an option for you, as they are aluminum on the outside, but offer the flex of carbon arrows at the same time, since they have the carbon inner arrow.
I shoot them. I was going to switch back and I was easily talked into the Full Metal Jackets to the detriment of the little buck I shot last year only for the contest points. I like them but that's all I can say in the way of endorsement.

Easton's arrow selection chart is garbage for traditional bows, but it will usually get you pretty darn close for compound arrows. Might have to tweak the bow's draw weight a bit to perfectly match your bow to the arrow's spine, but that's no biggie.

First we need to know what your draw length is and if you're shooting a single cam bow.

i still think carbon arrows are safer than alluminum. arrows don't break for no reason there had to be something wrong with it

Any arrow can break carbon, aluminum, or hybrid. You see more of it lately because it is very easy to damage a carbon while stacking arrows in groups without noticing the damage. With an aluminum or hybrid the arrow or core will dent which is easy to detect.

As far as your arrow choice goes, A shafts (best choices) are 2512 or 2415. The 2415 will be heavier with a thicker wall (372 grain bare shaft) as compared to the 2512 (288 bare shaft). The 2512 is probably an ultralight shaft and will be closer in weight to your carbons.

FYI, you would need 3-60 ACCs if you decided to go that route.

Hope this helps.
