Pumpkin ale yeast help

[MakoMadness]

Where did summer go? I had plans for a bunch of fall beers, next thing i know its labor day weekend. Anyways im gonna do an all grain pumpkin ale this weekend. Plan on using baked pumpkin in the mash and pumpkin pie spices in the fermentor. This isnt my first pumpkin ale but it will be my first 10gal batch. I plan on doing a yeast starter tomorrow but it got me thinking what yeast should i use?

I have used wyeast american ale in the past and understand it and cali ale 001 give clean neutral flavors but would i benefit from using a yeast that gives some flavor?

In the end i would like the pumpkin and spices to shine. Also because of the time of year it needs to be a strain that gets done relatively quick so this can be ready for mid october.

Here's what i got in my yeast library:

Cali ale wpl001
American ale 1056
American ale II 1272

German ale wpl029
Pacific ale wpl041
Bedford ale wpl006
French saison 3711
Edinburgh ale wpl028
Cry havoc wpl862

Once again thinking of staying away from 001, 1056 & 1272, leaning towards French saison


Whats people's thoughts? Also i could make a run to pick up any other suggestions (tho i only really use white labs or wyeast strains)

Ale...

I use Safale S-04. It works well for my purposes. It generates a beer that average people feel comfortable with.

I used Windsor dry in my pumpkin ale. It never finishes which is good for a sweeter beer.

I was going to make a joke about use the Saison but maybe now isn't a good time as you were serious OP. I mean you got all those beautiful ale strains, and this is what you come up with. Will you ferment at 80 degrees too?? YUMMY

I love English strains in my pumpkin beers. I usually use Nottingham. I did a batch this year with Belle Saison too. I'm skeptical about the Saison strain but we'll see. I brewed 10 gallons and split the batch so I know at least 5 gallons will be good. I wanted to play with the Mangrove Jack English strains in my pumpkin but thought it was too risky to get experimental with the one batch a year that my wife requires I make. No way I was going to re-brew a pumpkin...
