Regardless of which stand you choose, theft must be a consideration especially if you're going to leave it up a long time. I've had several hang on stands stolen, on private property, that were cable/locked to the tree. Unfortunatley some low life scum bag climbed the tree and cut the cable and stole the stand, leaving the cut cable and lock on the ground to add insult to injury. So whichever stand you wind up with, just be prepared to deal with this type idiotic mentality.
