It's hard to give proper guidance without a lot more information but it depends on the type of steel, desired edge performance, edge polish desired etc. Depending on the steel type, you might not actually want to use ceramic aluminum oxide based stones at all.
For any steel type, I would recommend going to something like a Venev diamond resin based F800 and F1200 (Fepa-F grit rating) stones. If, for some reason, you want to mirror polish your edge after this then use a diamond pasted on a strop.
If you're only ever sharpening legacy type steels (not modern super steels) then you can stick to ceramic based aluminum oxide stones.
