I use a climber and......

I have 5 strap on stands using screw in steps and.......

I hunt on the ground.

It all depends on if I am trying different areas, hunting public land(no screw in steps allowed), have my "spots" narrowed down to the tree I want to sit in, topography, and changing deer movements. I've been successful using all 3 methods and actually have taken my best bucks from the ground.
