The determining factor may be other constraints imposed by your assignment.

on a chip, fully configured from the microcontroller you attach to it.

although there is a lot of that to do.

There are at least three basic methods of controlling a stepper.
provides greater resolution at the expense of greater complexity.
built in gearing may not be the same as a revolution of the spindle).
The third has eight steps.
may be easily controlled by a single digital output via an H-bridge.
1) Begin with both A and B polarised one way.
2) Reverse the polarity of A.
3) Reverse the polarity of B.
4) Return A to its original polarity.
waveforms from each flip flop are 90 degrees out of phase.
this briefly but it seems to cover the essentials.

It looks like your specifications are a little loose at this moment.
sanity checks between the two parts.
5 are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to prove).
options open until you have tested the specification.

provide pulse and direction bits. 2 lines.
motor size, half or full step, power draw, etc.
