Well, the thing is, IMO, ideal trees are good for all climbing methods! Non ideal trees suck for most climbing methods other than a preset paracord line for rope climbing.
SAFELY climbing a non-ideal, lumpy,, flaky bark, crooked, multilimb tree for the first time and without a throwball is hard if you stay tethered in on every other method. You always need 1 tether to be truly safe(or a LB with a tree cinch) and 2 if you have to pass any branches, so the question is, is the second tether with a footloop that much more difficult than using stick/s, or a climbing platform.
So for me, 2TC or JRB'S hitch climbing is the least material to carry and manage into the woods and up the tree.(again for non preset or throwball set trees)
