since your changing the door bars why not go with swing outs. Mine has them and it makes getting in and out a breeze

swingout's cut out alot of strenth of the cage.. almost to the point where the front 2 bars don't do much. I really see no point in doing the cage if you are gonna put the swingout's in. Sure, they are legal, but for the strenth of the cage, to stop the car from twisting, flexing and folding up in a crash, they aren't very effective.

Learn to crawl in.. or get a detachable steering wheel.
