I shoot gold tips because of reputation, it's what everyone I know around here shoots. Carbon Express has the weight foward Technology that sounds pretty good but I'm not an expert on it. I can stack my gold tip hunters in some pretty tight groups so I'm not gonna switch anytime soon.

i was looking at the gold tips, but I don't really know what size to get. I'm shooting a PSE G Force thats set at around 57 lb. draw back at around 27 inches.

You would just need to go to an archery shop and see what size I guess.
I have a 28" draw but I shoot the shortest arrows that I can on my fall away rest.

Whats your arrow length from the end of the nock to end of the shaft not including the tip and what grain tips do you shoot?
For gold tips check out this chart

i'm guessing you should be shooting a 3555 or 500 spine arrow.

All arrow makers have an arrow(shaft) selection chart on their site and on the arrow box. You just need to know your draw weight and arrow length. Here are a few.

Carbon Express- http://www.carbonexpressarrows.com/techarrowselect.html
Beman- http://www.beman.com/products/shaft-selector
