After all the verbiage you still cannot make up your mind, why are you asking us to solve your problem ? Try both shafts and then choose that which feels best to you. If you are big and strong , go with the steel. If you want more feel of the club head, go graphite.

You dont have to be a low handicap golfer to be able to use steel shafts. You just have to have a fast swing (which you said you do). If you want a lighter steel shaft look into project X shafts, they are quite expensive ($32 per shaft) but are light weight and they are still very good. (i use 5.5 project x shafts on my irons).
So i think you should go with Steel shafts because you said you do have a fast swing and steel will give you more accuracy then graphite.

You are 18 and a high-handicapper , I recommand you the Graphite shafts, then steel when you are playing better. I’m 36 and had the same perplexity as you are. if you could trust me or my experience, i’d recommend you a good website named golfshopping18.com roughly(google it), I got some great clubs there , got myself a real good deal, superior quality, and the point is the price is unbelievable.

Here is the short version.
If you are going to spend big bucks for clubs you can certainly buy them from someone who knows club fitting.
My simple answer would be steel irons,steel hybrids or fairway woods and a graphite driver.
Because you are young and long you probably would benefit from stiff shafts.
