Rich - very good points! initially I was thinking of a curved set, however look at the various versions out in the market (including some nice wooden ones), I am leaning towards a flat set.
George - wow, another perspective thing to think about, and I guess might not be 100% known until the time the fenders are mounted if they are on the larger side.

I appreciate everyone jumping in and providing their experiences, thoughts, pictures and all the factors one should consider! This is a great group of folks!
