Overall, ladder stands are very safe and will be a lot easier to move than building a wooden stand. On our ladder stands, I use either the burlap camo or camo plastic tarp to conceal the seat area. I like the double stands also, just more room and not much more expensive. I also take 1/2 " pvc and build a frame and put an aluminum top on the stands. I might have some pictures around here of a couple of those covered stands if I can find them.
