RE: Aluminum or Carbon arrows?
I shoot carbons, Have been using the same ones for two years. I have killed a few things with them and they are still holding up. I have had to replace some fletchings but will gladly pay the cost for refletching than buying new alluminum arrows. Also the carbons I am shooting are just as accurate as the alluminums I shot in the past.

Have shot aluminum for years but last year switched to carbons and haven' t looked back. Still have some old XX75' s, and some of them are bent. Carbons are either broke or straight.

Carbons for me (shot Aluminum for about 15 years then went to carbons...will NEVER go back)
Once you find the right spine, the carbons are tougher, and you can get carbons with VERY tight tolerances (sp?)
ALL else being equal (diameter/weight/speed/spine/head/length...anything else you want to add...) a carbon will penetrate BETTER than aluminum as they don' t oscillate as much (or as long...basically have built in damping)...this is also a BIG aid to accuracy when shooting broadheads at high speeds.
