| I think both are ok. It just depends on which recommendations of style you choose to go by. |

I think both are acceptable.
The following paragraph is cited from a grammar book.
Apostrophes for Plurals of Letters and Figures
An apostrophe is generally used before an s to from the plurals of figures, letters of the alphabet, and words considered as words:
e.g.
the early 1900�s [or 1900s]
several size 16�s [or 16s]
a .44 pistol and two .22�s [or .22s]
There are four s's four i's, and two p's in Mississippi.
