I was wondering if anyone has advice on signing arb guys to long term deals. I am specifically wondering about front loading a bonus to lower the per year salary.

Bonuses help in keeping trade value for players.    Say you want to give a guy 5/50.   Could be any number of combinations but, in it's simplest form, a 10m bonus allows you to drop the yearly, evenly distributed, total by 2m per year.   Trading an 8m per year guy is easier than trading a 10m per year guy.

For the sake of payroll, there's really no reason to not arb a guy once or twice.
