Whats the best wine finings or clarifiers to use? I'm not really worried
about pectin haze, but more so with yeast.
Any ideas?

There is no magic clarifier. It all depends on what you want to remove. You
might want to read through Jack Keller's article on finishing wines. Scroll
down to the clarifying section:

Once the ferment is done most of the yeast will flocculate out and you can
rack it away from the yeast. The rest will come out through filtration
through an EK filterpad (<1 micrometer). I wouldn't really worry to much
about yeast. Protein and tartrates are the most common things fined from
wine. Protein with bentonite, and tartrates by cold stabilization.
