I just bought 72(6 dozen) of them.

One of the most important factors is just getting the correct spine for your setup. Some manufactures spines differ a bit, a 300 at one, might be a touch stiffer or weaker than other's 300.
The Gold Tip FACT weight system is one of the best screw in insert systems IMHO which is an added bonus for fine tuning everything, so that is what I usually go with and recommend.
But to answer your question, right now Black Eagle Spartan's 250. I got a deal I couldn't pass up so am giving them a test drive.

ACC pro hunters but they quit making them. Dont think you can go wrong with any of today's arrows.
Bought two dozen of these before they stopped. Dang good arrows.

I have always advised guys/gals to try multiple arrows and arrow builds through your setup. Majority of the bows are so dang good these days and tuning them is incredibly easy. Therefore for a long time now I have believed in just tuning the arrow to your bow and not the other way around. That being said try multiple different arrows and spines.
Imo, best answer so far. So many options, chances are, first set of arrows you try won't be the best arrows for you and your setup. Whatever you get, if they fly near perfect for you then just stick with them and get intimate with them over time. If they aren't panning out real nice, try something new next year. I think with most guys, they've shot multiple types of arrows until they've settled on something they love versus like.
Currently, I'm shooting Beeman ICS Precision Hunters and love 'em. Before these I shot Carbon Express Mayhem Hunters, a great arrow for penetration and 'knockdown' power but these guys seemed slower and didn't shoot all that flat for me. They'd be a great treestand arrow, esp. for elk I think. With that said, I had a complete pass through on a cow last year with the Beemans at 75 yards. (Bow: Elite Energy 35 @ 70lb with 125gr g5 Strikers)

Re-reading RadSav's posts and listening to Aron Synder's podcast is what led me to keep playing with set ups until I found one my bow liked.
First, I was under spined with my previous set ups. I was worried about having too stiff of an arrow that wouldnt be forgiving or so I thought. From what I've experienced, its better to have a stiffer spine that you can then "weaken" by adding point weight or inserts. Spine charts that manufactures put out are good to a point but I didnt consider that a spine chart doesnt take into account the rest of your arrow components.
I messed with various broadhead and field point weights and swapped brass insert weights in and out. It blew my mind how much a heavier arrow up front (brass insert and a heavier head) tightened up my groups, improved my arrow flight consistency and improved fixed blade broadhead flight.
I got to the point were I made my arrow too heavy for my preferences and my shots at greater distances started to diminish so I backed off a little weight.
I'm currently shooting 100gr tips, 75 grain brass inserts on my black eagle spartan 300's and Im having great results. I shot Muzzy 3 blades, Rad Ticon 100's and G5 Montecs Sunday afternoon to test them out and the groups were pretty dang tight. I've also shot Stinger buzzcuts and they flew well but I didnt test those on Sunday.
Two years ago I would have just put on 100 grain broad heads, adjusted my sight to account for my broad heads hitting right and high and called it good. I'd pull arrows of my target and they would be a different angles which only hurts the confidence.
Just wanted to share my :twocents: as hunting season gets close. Im still tinkering and hope to fine tune everything even more but something as simple as adding point weight and shooting a heavier arrow can make a huge difference in the flight of your arrow with a broadhead.
