I am about to order some new arrows off Hunters Friend website for my new Truth2 bow. On one of the options it asks to "select trimming option" If my draw length is set at 28" Would it be best to have them trimmed to 28.5" or 29". You would want a little clearance for whisker biscuit and broadhead right? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I've always been told to have the arrow one inch longer than my draw length for clearance for the rest and broadhead. Too long is better than too short! You can always have them shortened if they are a bit too long, but if you cut them too short, you can't fix it!

Yep, you can't lengthen an arrow, better too long then too short. I draw 29 and cut mine at 31. This puts my broadhead in front of my bow out of the way.

YOU CAN'T GO BY DRAWLENGTH!!!!!
Some rests sit further back or further forward than others!! It's all about the length from the nock to the front of the rest at full draw, and that is not determined by drawlength alone...
Draw your bow back and have someone measure the from the string to the rest.... then you will know....
I agree with exhughes2, I like mine past my riser, and depending on how you have your rest set and what broadheads you are using this might be necessary...
Since you are ordering from huntersfreind, I suggest that you go to their website and read all the info under their "tech help" section, then you will already know this stuff....
