RE: What hooks do you screw into trees to hang stuff and what rope...
I don't use anything screwed into the tree...It damages the tree, makes me sweat doing it (scent control), and leaves a mark for other people to figure out where I have been.
What I do use is a green sinch strap...the same one that comes with the old Summit climbing stands...to attach things to. (I actually bought a few extra straps from summit for this purpose) I use a Kwiky Quiver, so I modifiedan extra bow mount with a metal plate to fit over the strap. It works great, is quick, silent, and fits on any tree I can get a climber up.
I use a standard nylon rope to pull my bow up and down with.

I use this gear retriever - it's the best $20 you'll ever spend. No tangling... ever. I did replace the bottom clip with a heavy duty aluminum carabiner clip.
To hang my gear, I use these el-cheapo generic hooks. I have at least four of them in my pack at all times. I buy these things by the dozen.

Since I use a climber I put a bowattached a bow holder to my stand and I have a 20ft. cord that wraps around the end of the platform with a clip at one end to pull my bow up with.

I use an extra step for a bow holder. I carrry a few steps for low obsticals. My back pack gets clipped to my safty strap around the tree. The rest goes into my pockets.

RE: What hooks do you screw into trees to hang stuff and what rope...
If I'm on public ground where rules prohibit screwing anything into the tree, I have a bowholder attached to my Summit. Otherwise, I use a Realtree E Z Hanger 3. It has a couple of hooks on it to hang things on. I use nylon cord from the camping section of Wally World w/ a small caribiner attached to it to pull my bow up with.
Oh, I use a tree step to hang my pack on which also holds my quiver. Sometimes I use my pull rope and tie the pack to the tree.

There's only one brand of screw-in type stuff that I will ever use: Cranford. They make the absolute best steps on the market, and they make smaller accessory hooks too.
Look around and you'll find a rope that's got clips on either end and is about 25 or 30 feet long; if memory serves me correct, it's made and packaged by HS Strut.
