If all you are passing back each time is the latest data for the order, so you can do Order.new(params[:order]) as you have shown, then there is no reason to complicate things by using the session. You might like to consider whether the controller (and maybe the view) would be simplified by combining the actions (and maybe views) and passing up and back a phase value to indicate which phase of the operation is current. Make sure you do the validation in the model so that at each action you are just asking the model to validate itself, rather than putting validation code in the controller.
