I couldn't say objectively, the only 2 I've ever owned are Summit and API.....Summit wins out of those 2, that's for sure. Summit's are incredibly comfortable, and super stable. Mine is also very quiet.

lone wolf, i got the hand climber and it is super quiet and packs flat. I think i might get the sit and climb seat because it sucks to sit on the hand climber for extended periods.

I've been hunting with my Equalizer for about 5 mos. Leveling feature really works and thing is rock solid on a tree. Highly recommend.

My Summit Razor SS is the most comfortable stand I've ever had.

I don't know what one is the best but, I really like this one. The seat is attached to the base, just like a lock on. I like that feature. It is solid when attached to a tree.

I have had many different brands over the years and so far my Lone Wolf Sit and Climb has been the best for me. Light, quite, easy to climb with, and stable. Not the most comfortable, but I stand about 50% of the time and it is just fine for that. Most comfortable for sitting I have is the Doc's Recliner followed by the Summit Golith.

I had a Summit, sold it. I didn't like way it packed or climbed plus how you sit down in the bar, that put the bar too high and was in the way if the deer were close to the stand. I bought the Ol'man original and then another Grand. I feel it's the best stand on the market. As comfortable if not more so, packs easier than the Summit did and climbs nice, quiet and just perfect in my opinion.
