Handlebar suggestions?

Looking for a cheap set of blue handle bars. Is there any real difference in paying more for a set of aluminum vs the carbon steel? Does anybody have any of these?

IMO not really if you are just looking for a cheap pair. The aluminum ones bend easier, but carbon steel tends to break rather than bend. Aluminum tend to dampen vibrations a bit more so they feel "softer" or less harsh than steel. And aluminum ones are generally lighter than comparable steel ones. IN the end it's what you want to spend and live with.
I used to run a fly steel bar but have since changed to Pro Taper SE aluminum. Honestly I can't really feel a difference, I just like the Pro Taper bend better but that's a personal preference thing.
