Which do you prefer and why? Do the footboards get in the way of shifting? Probably a pretty dumb question....
Either transmission & definitely boards, unfortunately there have been boards that limit movement not so much interference. Have boards on my two wheeler too with a heal toe shifter. Is nice to be capable of minor position changes.*Note* Have not tried highway pegs yet, on either bike. Soon enough hopefully:2thumbs::popcorn:
On my RT [manual] definitely foot pegs as nothing interferes with the shifting.
I installed foot boards on my F3S. When configured as instructed, my left foot was constricted getting under the shift lever. I had to raise the rear one position to lower the front enough to make shifting easier. Once that was done, I’m comfortable and happy with the floorboards. I notice that the ones I bought don’t seem to be offered any more. Maybe the ones now offered don’t have that problem.

I had floorboards installed on my 2014 RT SM6. I loved it. The heal toe shifter was great. It allowed me to not mess up the toe of my shoes, and gave me more movement.
I just bought my first Spyder a few weeks ago. The previous owner put nice floorboards on it and I couldn’t seem to get them just right. He couldn’t locate the original foot pegs so I sourced a factory set. Hands down the pegs are spot on and the transmission shifts so much smoother now. I realize that it’s all personal preference. I’m much happier now.
