Method 2 kit is what I am looking at.
I'd watch the review from Saddle Hunter on youtube. Note that you can use XL even if you're smaller and it will be more comfortable.
I have Method 2 XL, I'm roughly 40" waist and it's working quite nicely. Problem is the lower panel straps are much closer together on smaller size. I'd look into Cruzr XC and Archon also.
I would not buy the kit. For lineman, stiffer rope is nice, something like Canyon C-IV etc. For tether, I bought Petzl Volta 9.2mm and cut a piece of it. Sterling Nano is great option available in US. Obviously you try to avoid slack in the system, in reality you get bit of slack on each step, dynamic rope will greatly reduce severity of the impact if I were to fall at worst moment.
I also prefer to rappel down from the tree every time regardless of how I got there. Easier and safer that way. I use the same rope to haul up and lower my backpack and bow.
I'd say long rope is also worth owning if you have regular trees to leave presets at. SRT allows to leave the sticks home completely and it's about as fast as climbing up pre-installed sticks.
It's nice to have a small pouch for linemans belt, recovery rope and gear hanger. I don't see really point for having the long rope stashed on saddle pouch unless you're going without backpack completely. Even then you could also just have the coil on the platform, then let it hang while climbing and pull the bow up with it. In the tree, coil it and hang on the gear hanger.
