I also have a bracket with torque arms.
Would you use  the top plate for guy wires or use the torque arm bracket 
which would be about  one foot from the top.


    Use the guy attachment points one the flat top.  You might have to use a 
clevis/shackle to attach the guywire though.
 
    The foot-long torque arms don't do much so  there's not much of an 
advantage to using them. They mostly keep the tower  from twisting when it's being 
climbed - and that's it.
