I am going to use the following recipe:

4 lbs Wheat Malt, Bel (2.0 SRM) 43.2 %
3 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 32.4 %
4.0 oz Honey Malt (25.0 SRM) 2.7 %
1.25 oz Crystal [3.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 12.6 IBUs
1.00 oz Crystal [3.00 %] - Boil 20.0 min 6.1 IBUs
1.00 oz Crystal [3.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 0.0 min
2 lbs Honey (1.0 SRM) 21.6 %

Would WB-06 be a good yeast for this? Or should I use US-05? Or WY1010?

I will also be adding extract fruit flavors to this beer, just don't know what yet.
 
If you want American wheat I'd avoid WB-06. It has a stong German estery hefe character imho. Moreso than WY 3068. US-05 would be good.

WB-06 does make a decent hefe though.
 
I'd recommend WY1010...very clean yeast and a monster at eating sugar...it's my go to for my house Amer. Wheat
 
I cant find 1010 locally and I brewed last night!! Not sure what to do at this point.
