The CE 45/60's are great arrows.  A 2018 should work well for you also.

Yes 2018 is aluminum.  I had good success with 2115 aluminums out of my first recurve that was 55#@28".

Ya left out how long YOUR draw is. My guess was a 2016 or 2018 loonyum arra.

I shoot both 2115 and 2018 out of my Pronghorn 60inch, 58@26".  The arrow shafts are cut to 28 inches bop.    They fly like darts!  for me! :-)

With a draw like that, at least a 2018... or even a 2117.... "loonyum".

I shoot 53# @ 30"  use a 2216 at 31 1/2"

you are most likley at 60 to 61# at your 30" draw and 58# at 29"  you will need around a 30 to 31" arrow. I would not go any lighter spine 2117 and would most likley try a 2216

I have a 29" draw, and out of a bow that pulls 57# I really like Carbonwood 4000's with 250 up front.
