I prefer a ground stand (a folding chair). Most areas I hunt have enough elevation change that, with a gun, you do not need to be elevated to get a clear shot. I like to sit my chair by something that will break up my profile and be 50 to 70 yards away from the travel route that I am hunting. Here is an example of the type of map I use (a small part of one). It shows where I might sit, depending on wind direction. Every one in my party has the larger version of my map and we use it to get seperation and so everyone knows where everyone else is. The maps that I actually use look about like this only they are drawn from arial photos from the internet.
