Nerf Bars or Steps?

I'm going to ditch my running boards, as it would look better without them. I'm going to buy either truck steps or nerf bars to replace them. I am also going to buy some mud flaps to replace the ones on it. Now, should I get nerf bars or truck steps? Here's the nerf bars: Westin - Signature Series 25-0530 - StreetSideAuto

Here's the truck steps which I would get in polished: Westin - Signature Series 25-0530 - StreetSideAuto

I have these mud flaps picked: 1991 Ford F-150 Dee Zee Custom Mud Flaps, Aluminum Mud Flaps

What do you all like best and would look best on my truck? I'm getting one of the two because girls have trouble climbing in, haha. Pictures are in my gallery.

Personally my fav, I have 2 sets, GF got me mine for my bday 3 years ago, Westen SS Nerfs, almost 300 bucks I think, I picked the same set up at a swap meet new for 70, she was pissed lol.
My 95 F350, No Lift 35's

Same Style Steps on my 92 F150 I sold a few months ago. 4-6" Lift(got truck in bad shape like this, half body, half suspension) 35's Steps were 20 bucks at swap meet, made the mounts, got em on.

I personally do not like any of the side steps except for the Eddie Bauer and Flareside ones.

If you need steps then go with the silver hoop steps. I don't much care for nerf bars, except on trucks that have lifts on them. Even then I think that our trucks look best with out them.

Yuck, mud flaps?

if you wheel your truck at all steps can get in the way and bend your body(done it) so id go nerf bars but i personally like how steps look better unless its got a nice lift.
