Default Blade or Mechanical...?

Do you like Blade Broadheads, or Mechanical. How about Aluminum Shafts for Arrows, or Carbon?

And dont forget the " why"

First the easy question, carbons or alluminum? Ilike carbons because they don' t stay bent, cost more but I replace them less. They are lighter also, and I feel more durable.
Broadheads? I shoot both, I like my mechanicles because they allow me to shoot a larger diameter blade without the worry of the arrow planning at longer distances.

I use aluminums with straight blade....I never liked carbons...too light for me. They don' t have the knock down power IMO. At a further distance, they dont seem to have a hard impact due to there weight.
