I currently use the Rocky Mountain Gator XP (100 grain). This is a new broadhead to the market this year and they are kind of hard to find. Keystone Country Store carries them and they also come in a 85 grain head.

75 grain Rocket Wolverine 3P... P = pathfinder tip like that on a Muzzy. They fly like a field point and hit like a tank. Been taking deer with the 3P and can't say anything but good things about them.

Out of your setup I like the miniblaster 3L which comes in at 76 grains. But I prefer it with the pathfinder point which would bring the weight to 94 grains. That would be for Whitetails.
