Overall CA is the way to go. But it depends what fits your requirements best.

Can't tell you what to use, but we use a medium viscosity clear super glue (cyanoacrylate) applied with micro-tip adapter.
We use the same. ;)

Would fast gluing wood cement be a good glue to use for towers? Our tower for state didn’t do well because it was not glued properly even though it had a pretty good structure. I’ve used wood cement on balsa wood for wright stuff and I found it easy to use and fast drying, but I’m not sure if it’s a good glue to use for towers.

It's functional (and useful for Wright Stuff because it can be removed relatively easily, if I remember correctly) but CA glue is as effective for less mass.
