I've got Vienna and a ton of hops that I need to use so I'm thinking about a Vienna SMASH IPA. I've not done a Vienna SMASH IPA (I did a Munich-Nugget SMASH IPA that was awesome). I would like some recommendations regarding what hop to use. I'm shooting for an OG of around 1.060, with the IBUs around 45-50, and will ferment with Danstar BRY-97. I will also probably do FWH rather than a 60 min bittering addition. I have the following available:

Summit (I don't mind onion)
Citra
Galaxy
Chinook
El Dorado
Calypso
Columbus
Ahtanum
Palisade
Apollo
Azacca

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
 
I just did a galaxy / vienna SMaSH 2 weeks ago. Hydro sample tasted and smelled incredible. Fwh and a heavy 15 min addition and flame out addition. Did a 30 minute hop stand also.
