It has been a long time since I went out and bought a stabilizer so all I can do is guess at price.  But I'd guess the Bee Stinger 10" with a decent weight might run 80 -$100.00.  Sims Windjammer w/Balance I'm guessing at 50-$60.00.

I would be feeding you a line of bull pucky if I were to tell you exactly what length and weight you needed.  Since I can not see what and how severe the issue is.  This is the type of trouble shooting where a good well stocked pro shop is invaluable!  Most good shops that carry Bee Stringer will have the components available for you to try on their range.  I doubt you will need to go 12" or at the heaviest weight.  With a light weight bow a small amount of weight will make a big difference.  8 - 10" should be enough to manage the twisting.  Just need to get out and shoot some to see what you like and what gives you the best combination of advantages.

As far as quiver...I wish I had a sure fix for you there.  Problem is most quivers these days are high priced garbage. The Tight Spot has a loyal following, but I theorize that has more to do with how bad the others are rather than how good it is.  I used the Tight Spot all of last year on my Bear Anarchy and despised it greatly!  Problem was, on that bow, it was my best option and there was no better choice.  I bet I dropped a grand on quivers trying to find something better and failed to do so.  I've begun trading and swapping for older Hoyt two piece quivers.  Then spending the time and money to modify them to work with the newer and different brands of bows. 

The quiver options are so bad these days we have started dropping some serious change on R&D to develop something new and universal.  But that could take years to finalize and get to market.

Hope you get things under control.  And since you say you are shooting it well I expect you will!

Well I went out and got a limbsaver system with the balance. Its the same as the simms windjammer. 10". My question is, do I put the weight on the opposite side of the pull? If its going left, then put it on the right? Also, if you put the puck  weight we'll call it, farther away from center of the stabilizer, does that pull more to that side. I know it may be basic physics, but still not sure. I also notice that with this bow the arrows are about an inch to inch and a half long. That make a big difference?

Length of arrows should not make any difference on twist/jump.  Generally you want the puck to help offset the weight of your quiver.  So start with it at 3:00 and slowly adjust 3:30, 4:00, 4:30...to find the best position for you.  It's nice if you don't have it sticking straight out at 3:00, but if that's what it takes to make you comfortable it is what it is.  With the extra weight extended from the grip and the light bow 6:00 might be all that is needed.  You just won't know until you shoot it.

If you have continued issues try posting up a video of you shooting.  There may be other things at play.
