best type of treestand?

I like all 12 of mine. I use them all. I have 4 lockons that i place strictly in bedding areas. 3 lockons i setup in transition areas. 2 climbers (Homemade) that I leave out in the woods the entire season that are situated way out in the swamp. 1 climber (tree lounge) that I use for all day hunting. 1 climber (API grandslam) That I use most because its very quiet to setup and fairly light.
1 climber (summit) that I use to move around for bowhunting.
Make that 13 stands. I have the TREE SUIT that I use when Im scouting and happen upon a good spot.
Then when the season ends I have to spend an entire weekend hauling these things out of the woods.

we had awful wind today and temps were 25 degres and wind chill 0,ugh.the [only] stands that worked good were the [ladder stands] others the trees moved with the wind , back and forth all day.so i learned something today. also those people with the ladder stands could use huge oak trees and we could only use normal oaks that moved in the wind. i am getting a ladder stand, you bet. i am still sea sick from moving. we did get 3 bucks and 1 was a 8 point with a 24 1/2 spread,oh my.i will try to get a picture and put in on here in acouple of weeks after developed,take care
