I agree I like ladder stands the best, to me there the quietest to get in and out of, and can be made to hide you the best with some effort

I also found , since I hang stands alone,that by bringing a ladder with me(strap it to my ATV) I can simply ad a pully to the tree and hoist up a ladderstand with no sweat with my atv
I know its not always possibly to do some places , but at my place being mostly flat I can get almost every where, and takes all the hard work out of setting them up for me

good luck
