Maybe this is balls but I'm never quite sure about steel stems on carbon steerers given torque requirements. I guess you'd be ok with the dual bolt on the Nitto but not sure how comfortable I'd be with a single bolt steerer clamp at low torque settings. From recent experience it doesn't take much over 4nm to pinch carbon, especially with the sharper edges on steel stems.
