I think HBG would be your best bet. I know, big shock hearing that from me. I have RES in my hybrid pond, but their numbers are few, approx a 25:1 ratio with my HBG. I saw some on the nests early this spring, and I caught one just a couple weeks ago, but I look at them like I do my LMB, just as management tools, not as an angling opportunity, and I do not specifically target them as such.

If you're going to stock WE and HSB, then you're already going to have those species as a put and take fishery, so utilizing HBG would fall right in line with your existing plans. They grow large, fight tremendously, have limited reproduction, readily take supplemental feed, and are delicious on the table.

As far as using RES only, I think that could work, if you got their numbers high enough, but once their numbers get that high, what do they eat? They won't readily take artificial feed, so I can't see their ultimate size potential ever truly being attainable in your situation.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
