That helped. But now I gotta figure out which one to use, how might I be able to tell that?

Short of the wise cracks, if you are hunting any public ground you definately want a climbing type, portable, aluminum stand. I suggest you get the best one you can buy first and skip the process of wasting money on stuff that spends most of it's time laying on the garage floor.
Get a Summit Viper and it will be the first and last stand you ever need. It's a lot cheaper than buying everything else first.

I didn't see anyone mention a HARNESS, BUY ONE & USE IT!
On public land a climber makes the most sense to me. One climber will cover as much ground at 10 hang on stands.
Where I really like my hang on stands are in locations I know the deer are near. If I have a stand location within 100 yards of a bedding area I don't want to be climbing and making a racket. With a hang on you can sneak in and get onstand unnoticed more easily.
Both are important tools for the bow hunter. men and tree stands and like women and shoes. Neither of us can figure out why the other must have 25 treestands or pairs of shoes.
