Are you planning on taking the ladder with you after the hunt or leave it there for next time?
I'd take it with me. I will still use traditional screw in steps for my permanent spots on private land. But for public land hunting where I want to be mobile and don't trust thieves the strap ladder / sling combo is what I'll use. I might screw an eye bolt into the tree and clip the ladder onto it with a caribiner clip.....
