Default Forward controls or highway pegs on 883xl

I've been thinking about forward controls for awhile now but I just saw so customs highway bar/pegs and I was curious if anyone could give advice on which way to go. Looking for comfort in those longer rides.

Both.
I have highwaybars with footrest and Kuryakan Mini floorboards in place of the standard drivers pegs.. Rest your heals on the floorboards and toes on the highway pegs. Super comfortable. Check my sig pic for this set up.

I also have the adjustable highway pegs where the forwards mount to on my Custom. I like changing leg positions on the longer rides, and as mentioned, I get better control in certain situations with the mids.
