Default Complete Newbie.... Which treestand?

I've read the posts about the summit treestands, and I have a very quick question....

Which is the best type of treestand? I am a total newbie. I mean, I am such a newbie, I have <u>never ever been UP in a tree stand!</u>!!! I'm clueless.... <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

I won't get a treestand now, since I'm currently using a small ground blind that I &quot;trick up&quot; with existing branches, twigs, etc...

But for next season, I want to get a good one. I am a lefty bow hunter and 6' and 210lbs and don't have a fear of heights, but am concerned about the safety of a climbing tree stand.

What would you recommend for a newbie that has never been in a treestand and never even tried to put one up before?

What's your general opinions on:

1) Climbing stands
2) Hanging stands
3) Ladder stands

Thanks!!!

Butch
