I've heard if your using a capture style rest it can cause issues, and trying to keep it as simple as possible. I'm a big noobie when it comes to all this arrow stuff.

I have shot helical on everything! Just buy a good rest right off the bat and dont worry about helical. (helical is the best way to fletch by the way). I run a trophy taker smackdown pro, have used Limbdrivers as well and like them also.

This is the style that came with my bow. I don't plan on doing many upgrades until I'm a lot better then I currently am.
The best equipment in the world is useless to the idiot who doesn't understand it.

I don't see why that would cause issues if a whisker biscuit doesn't for a lot of people.

Biscuit and the Hostage may look similar, but there are huge differences.  Biscuit design calls for all vanes hitting soft even resistance as they pass through.  Hostage is expected to hit nothing and the bristles are anything but soft.  The Economy Hostage pictured will have troubles if contact is on the wrong spot of the vane.  But...Unless the arrow is super small diameter or the helical in darn near spiral flu flu you shouldn't have a problem making the Hostage work with a nice offset fletch.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
