 get steel. graphite costs more and generally isnt even worth it. graphite only makes a difference if you have a swing suited for it. many people fork out the extra dough because it is lighter but the lighter club doesnt even really help them because of the way the swing.

heres the thing, graphite is lighter which should produce more club speed. But many people have fundamental flaws in their swing where they wont even experience any gain in speed because theyre not really accelarating and following through on their downswing correctly anyways.

Personally I prefer the steel because the added weight gives you more 'feel' on the takeaway and at the top. Really the best way to improve your club speed is the improve your technique. Graphite is really intended to give you that extra oomph in your swing. But if you dont have a decent swing to start it wont do anything. Many people buy it thinking it will be a magic fix to their swing, thats why it sells so well with high handicappers and why they can charge more for it. And its funny because in my opinion I think high handicappers would benefit more from the steel.
