Default Favorite fletching glue for wraps and bare carbon

I am looking to place an order with cabelas today for some fletching supplies and cannot decide on the best glue to use. I think I am going to use blazer wraps but am not sure where the main benefit is other than asthetics/blood sign and ability to find arrow after shot. Regardless ,there are a lot of glues out there and they all say they are the best so which one have you liked the best or maybe which you think is the worst that I should stay away from.

I personally use the Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum and have had zero problems with it. I experimented with a few of the instant glues in the past but never really cared for the white residue they left on my arrows and vanes.

I use the same stuff and have fletched probably thousands of arrows with it. Works great!!

I use Super Glue gel. I use it very sparingly to try to avoid that white residue. I haven't had much luck with that though so I started capping and cresting my shafts. They look much better and hide the glue marks well.

I have had good luck with fletch-tite platinum and Carbon Express express bond.

Before you order from cabelas you may want to check prices here - http://www.bowhunterssuperstore.com/

Are you guys using the wraps or going bare shaft?
I read after I posted on a search that there is a better bond using wraps on carbon?
