JAKE,

 I'd have to agree with the gent at your local fly shop...if limiting myself to one rod for both Steelhead & Saltwater...I would go for the 8wt. set-up.  I own a 8wt set up & a 9wt. set up...year in & year out the 8wt. set up gets more use. sorry to throw you a loop like that... But since you own the 9wt....use it. There's always next christmas.

I guess I was good, because Santa brought me a 9ft 9wt rod kit for xmas.
 
But now I have an issue :  While browsing the local fly shop, I was wiggling a 9ft 9 wt and talking with one of the shop guys about it.  He said a 9ft 8 wt would be a better choice if I intended to use it for steelhead primarily and saltwater secondarily.  So I put the question of choice to you all - if you had to pick one, which would it be? 
 
I anxiously await your opinions and debate.
