Nerf Bars v running boards

Im looking to purchase either nerf bars or running boards for my 2005 trailblazer and am unsure of which to get. The color is graystone metallic. Any suggestions?

I got the running boards on my 2005. They look OK and are plenty strong enough to stand on but sound like cheap plastic if you kick them to get snow off your shoes. I had fiberglass on my 1999 blazer and liked them much better.

thanks for your input? im not sure what i want...i was concerned about the running boards looking like cheap plastic, but im also concerned that the nerf bars will rust. I heard even the stainless ones rust

Yah the running board are strong enough though look cheap. There are 4 angles to support that. I replaced with the Nerf bars which look gr8 guess. Its stainless steel to mirror finish which protects against chipping, peeling and rust. I think you should go with the Nerf bars
