I would say laminate would be easier, faster and cheaper (& easier to clean and keep clean) in the long run.
If you do put down laminate it's fairly straight forward you should be able to do it yourself.
If you put carpet down you'll need a staple gun

With laminate, which looks nice, you will need a bull nose to put on where the step meets the riser...that can be a tripping hazard. I am thinking it would be easier, though costly, to get new step boards and stain them and paint the risers.
