Strongbuilt Sniper Climbing tree stand.
My first and only, used on my 1 and only hunting trip, seems fine to me. It has a gun rest but for bow-hunters (I do both) it can be avoided just by bringing the feet stand up closer to the butt rest... unless you shoot sitting (I can' t) then I would NOT recommend it. It' s only 99.99 at basspro.com

I use a BIG SHOT by Buck Shot Treestands. It is an aluminum sit down-stand up type stand. The seat slides so you can face toward the tree or away from the tree. It has a neat padded backrest/gunrest that is fully adjustable, which may be removed for bowhunting. I have hunted out of it for 7 or 8 years and it' s very comfortable. They have several versions available now as well as accessories, such as bow holders, gun holders, drink holders, fleece seat covers, camo skirt, etc. Another thing I like is that they have all the parts available if you ever need them.

RE: Who uses a Climber? What kind do you use?
Just bought my first climber two months ago. A Warren and Sweat Master Climber. it was only 79 bucks and I had a 50 dollar gift certificate. for the price I paid....what can I say. It works. But the knobs arn' t that easy to use, you can' t hook to a very large tree, it is only 17 inches wide and I' m fairly large. the thing I like the lease is changing from he climbing position to the hunting position requires manipulation of wingnuts. I figure I' ll carry some extras just in case.
