What type of carbs are reccommended the most for the feast phase, simple, complexed, or a mix of both?
Am I looking for an insulin spike with every meal?

Depending upon somatype, best to stick to fiberous carbs from fruits/veggies at most meals. You want to elevate insulin "enough", to push nutrients into the muscle cells. You don't want a "spike" per se, every few hours. That'll just lead to fat gain. The only place you'd want to do this, is post workout - where you can get away with eating simple sugars.
Hope that helps!
