CCK Cleavers, requesting help/info

I'm currently looking at a CCK 1303 for a more well-rounded chef knife, and a CCK 1602 for bones for stock purposes.

However... the carbon steel worries me a bit. I won't use it THAT often, so I worry about it rusting or something if it goes unused for a couple weeks to a month or so.

So I was looking at the stainless steel variants, but I'm not sure..

I use a Shun Classic Blonde 8" knife and a Miyabi Birchwood SG2 8" knife currently as my chef knives, but I've recently gotten myself really wanting a cleaver, one for chef knife purposes, and another for bone purposes, but.. not really sure what to do.. Damn near EVERYONE I've read from prefers the carbon steel, but the constant maintenance is... worrisome.

Thess Boar American Black Walnut Edge Grain

Just wanted to show off this new cutting board I got from Thess Boar down in Georgia. Local craftsman, family owned. They did a phenomenal job on this board. The size of it is 30x23.

Did 4 coats of oil on the top and sides, 3 coats on the bottom, followed by some conditioner.

Don't mind the clutter too much... Still trying to figure out how to organize everything to make it functional but at the same time not cluttered. Just.. Haven't quite figured that part of the puzzle out yet... Especially with how many seasonings I regularly use when cooking/grilling/smoking and a majority of time things get seasoned on the cutting board so I needed the seasonings very close by..

I'm thinking sous vide to medium rare, then sear on my flat top with some clarified butter garlic and herb.

Not sure though since I've never made steaks this size.
