I don't have any experience with many of the stands mentioned here but I do have a tree lounge with the bowhunting adaptor that I have used for many seasons now. I have several hang on style stands and my tree lounge is by far the most comfortable stand I have ever set in. It is a bit cumbersome but once you get it set up it's quiet, and comfy and I've killed many deer out of mine without any problems of it cracking, squeaking, or popping when you shift your weight. JMO
