well, since you asked, and no one is giving you a legitimate response, i will.
firstly, if you are at 12% bf or less, and have good proportion, good for you. if you are at 20-25% bf or more, than i wouldn't be worried about gaining weight so much as loosing the fat.
if you are lean, you must be pretty damn big. and like you said, steroid use at your size, when you're already close to your natural limit, will only make you yoyo up and down. while you're on, you'll gain some, but when you stop, you'll lose most of it, if not all, as you said. pros stay on year round, or nearly year round. it's the only way that they can sustain their muscle mass. so, PROVIDED that you're diet, workout, and body are perfect and you're at your natural limit, then the only way you can go up in weight (significantly) and stay up is through constant steroid use, year round. which has it's side affects, as you well know.
in my opinion, >260-270 or anything like that on a guy who's 5'8'' would be disgusting. why don't you try to get to an ultra ripped 225 or so, and look great, rather than ruin your health and aesthetics by year round cycling. if you're in this from a bodybuilding perspective, then aesthetics should always be your priority. quality before quantity bro.
