They all probably work fine but a glue of head was made to put on wood shafts. The screw ons were made for man made shaft materials. I prefer to haft trade points like I haft stone points with pitch glue and sinew wrapping. I do use some glue on broadheads with my hunting arrows and glue on field points for target shooting.

Again not familiar with things just yet, but what glue works best and what is hafting?

Hafting is attaching a point or head to a shaft or handle
...from Websters New World Dictionary...haft, a handle or hilt of a knife, sword, etc.   ...to fit with a haft.

Many glues are good for attaching glue on points. I always used hot melt glues made for attaching points.  For hafting stone and trade points I like pitch glue and sinew wraps.
