I think Im changing my setup this year for next season
Probably going with a 40 or 45 lb bow.
Wood arrows.
Im looking at tree sharks or woodsman or snuffers.
STOS 130 gr.
Ace.
Any of the three you mentioned are going to do the job.
I really like STOS as well.
I like the land or tiger sharks
What will you be hunting?
Of those three, the bow weights that you envision, i would go with the Woodsman head. All are good and all could work. I think the Woodsman is the best choice here.

What you plan to hunt can make a difference unless you want a head for anything then I would suggest either the woodsman or a good 2 blade like grizzly or the Simmons heads
Cutthroats are some awesome heads, also.
Woodsman
Depends on the arrow that is pushing it, Tree Shark, Grizzly, Eskimo, or a 3 to 1 two blade.
A host of viable options.
This dude right here looks like a winner. I think when shooting through paper it leaves a smiley emoji.

I would recommend the Woodmans or Simmons. But the best recommendations will come from folks who've harvested the most big game and have real experience to share. I'm mostly a small game guy.
Zwickey has anything you could need for deer, deer sized game.
cut a hole, not a slit. get something that sharpens easily. check it often
Bear Razorhead or Zwickey no-mercy for a 2 blade or a woodsman for a 3 blade. I have some 125 elites for sale right now. Give ya a good deal if you want them
Is a three blade broadhead a good choice for a wood arrow and a fourty lb bow?
Just asking, I honestly don't know. A guide I know suggested I use a two blade broadhead if I used 48 lb bow. (for bear)
Im hunting whitetail
I used the 3 blade vpa's 175 grain this year with my longbow which I pull about 45#. Killed a buck with complete pass through. As long as you make sure the head is shaving sharp just pick what you like and feel confident with and it will do the job

With my Palmer 47# recurve I killed a doe with the big Palmer Extreme Cut 4 blade and a 200lb sow with a big ole snuffer.
I'd pick the one you are best at sharpening and keeping sharp. I prefer 2 blade broadheads. To me they are easiest to sharpen and touch up. I have never been able to get a 3 blade as sharp as a 2 blade. I know it's because of the angle but I like to see it shave hair. Probably a mental thing but archery is mostly mental so I go 2 blade.
Zwickey Eskilite 110 gr. glue on, Eskimo 125 gr. glue on, Delta 135 gr. glue on, or the Simmons Tiger Shark, 135 grain glue on. All are proven. I just glued on 6 Tiger Sharks on some Surewood shafts and I have to admit, I am truly impressed with their accuracy and penetration in regards to them being 1"-9/16th wide.
I used to think I couldn't use a 3 blade with my 45# bow untill but got 2 pass true on whitetails. I still like 2 blade though. Can't beat an old Bea Razorhead.
At 40 lbs especially, I would be using a 2-blade head. There are many good ones, but I would stick to something around 1 1/8" or so wide.
My wife used 2 blade Zwickey Eskimos with good success from a 38# longbow on Minnesota Whitetail. The shafts were 5/16 P.O.C. shafts. No pass thrus, but plenty of penetration to get the job done.

Of those you mentioned I'd pick the Woodsman for your set up.
