Breaking up A Step Run

We've got the contractor picked FINALLY for the hardscaping. Hopefully he'll be available in the next few weeks so we can have this behind us and begin plantings. Just when I think we have it all decided, the issue of how EXACTLY to do the steps is in question.

We have approx a 100" drop over about 25' long. Several options have been given and they all have their merits.

1.Lower rise steps for a comfortable gait (retirement home) and easier to navigate a wheelbarrow.

2.Two to three sets of steps with landings.

3.One set of steps and then a ramp/slope as it flattens out some.

Being that we're also in the process of remodeling our laundry and designing a major kitchen remodel, I have a serious case of decision fatigue. Any thoughts you might have on what you might do and why. TIA
