This is a tough spot. You know your family better, but I think since the tradition is for dad to walk you, everyone will be more accepting if you do that, rather than having someone else (stepdad or mom) do it.
Why not mix it up? Your dad could walk you halfway down the aisle and then your stepdad and mom could take over and your father follow for the last half and they all three "give you away." I know it's a little clunky sounding, but I suspect anyone who knows your family situation at all would think it's sweet, inclusive, and makes perfect sense.
Don't be afraid to come up with a solution that is far out of the box. While we tend to wonder if our guests will think it's weird, more often something like this will leave them thinking that you're very sweet and thoughtful.
@LibertyBelle: I second this, or another way that incorporates these three very important people in your life. I wouldn't worry about what it looks like to your guests or if it's different than what they've seen before.
Liberty is spot on, think of a way to incorporate both dads into the ceremony. It does not have to be a walk down the isle how about a heart felt thank you at the alter with your step dad. You could make a show for lack of a better word of a special hug and thank you just for him.

Our minister does an a period where people from the crowd can say a few words of good wishes which both my dads will be forefront in. Ive been really avoiding this for months now. Thanks for the advice Im going to have to think really hard about it.
I know you didn't list it as an option, but you could walk yourself down. That's what I'm doing. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it's just a thought. I hope you can make a decision though and I'm sure that whoever you don't select won't have any hard feelings. I'm sure they will understand and know that you still love and appreciate them.

Dad: I have a good relationship with my father now however it hasnt always been this way.
Step Dad: Ive known him since I was 1 and he's the one who raised me from braiding my hair before school when I was 6 till today.
Mom: The only person who has really been there my entire life 24/7
I can not pick who should walk me down the aisle and I need help. If I choose my father then I feel like my step dad is left out and if I choose my step dad I feel Ill insult my father. I absolutely do not feel comfortable with both of them walking me down the isle (Ill feel closterfobic and stress out). I would like for my mom to walk me down the aisle but she thinks I should have my dad or dad and step dad do it. Any suggestions or words of advice?
