I would go with a climber, had many in my life time, API, OL' Man, Buckshot, Summit, Amacker and even the old Baker slip-O-matic, tried most of them. The safest was the old Buckshot with the metal back bar, you could sit toward the tree or away from the tree, it's still as good today as it was 30 years ago when I bought it. You could lock the climber and foot rest in place with a strap and that stand wasn't going anywhere, it was a sit down stand up climber, all Aluminum. The next best stand was a tossup between the API and OL' Man, both were safe stands they both climbed good and I felt good in both. The Summit had problems on larger trees because of the back braces on the back of the stand that went to the arms, they would hit the tree if the tree was to big, other than that it climbed well. The Amacker was an all steel stand, had sharp gigs that dug into the tree and a metal back bar, if you locked the bar in place with a strap and seated the gigs in deep is was a good as the buckshot. The damn Baker slip-O-matic was as it name says, three feet up and slip back two, if you were lucky you may get 10 feet up turn around and sit down and at some time along take an unexpected ride down the tree.
With the choices you have posted I would go with the OL' Man, this way you don't have to use steps or climbing stick, slip on the steps or getting in the stand and fall. You will feel safer in a climber and you can take it with you when you leave without messing with all the parts you have to carry along just to get up the tree.
One tip, carry a screw in step along, you can screw in the step to help get into your climber on a big base tree.
