Both depending on the situation though I find myself using the treestand more since it does give you more of an advantage in terms of a vantage point and shooting lanes. I do love those ground blinds though as well. I have 4 at the moment...a Doghouse, Doghouse TSC, Penthouse and a Hunter' s View Waterfowler blind. They sure do allow for great freedom of movement and can greatly help to reduce how the elements affect your hunt.
