Do you want a climber with an open front, do you want to use the sit & climb method for climbing, or do you want a stand that has a lot of room?
My personal stand is a Summit Viper. For me it combines the best blend of safety, comfort, and ease of use. I have owned API's, Lone Wolf's, and others that I can't recall and have found I like Summit the best.
If I was forced to replace my Summit today I would consider another Summit, Treewalker, and the Gunslinger. The Lone Wolf stands are quality stands but they are too small for me to be comfortable in.
