I hunt out of a Summit Goliath. Next one will likely be a Summit Specialist.
Some will say API. Some will say Ol Man. I don't think anyone will say lone wolf for comfort but they are the lightest and smallest packing ones around.
Summit, API, Ol Man, Lone Wolf are the big brands that come to mind.

Grand Ole Man for me. Can sit all day very comfortably. I can't think of one negative to say about it. I own 3 of them and several Ole Man Roost lok-on stands. JMHO.

API Grand Slam, does everything but keep your feet warm.

Overpriced, not as comfortable. You pay a whole lot for a really light compact stand. I wouldn't consider it unless you really had a need for cutting as much weight as possible because you were packing it in a really long ways.

I'm not a climber hunter, but a lot of guys I know swear by the Tree Lounge.

Summit 180 max, love it I can sit for 4 hours without being the least bit uncomfortable. Previous 15 years I used several tree lounges, not bad but I rather the summit.

I have an API grand slam (~20 yrs old) that I really like. Its about 23 lbs and breaks down flat for easy carry. It climbs really well and is very stable in the tree. But not near as comfortable as my Ole Man. Makes a little noise due to some moving parts... 
And takes a few minutes longer to set up and pack up than my Ole Man.
My Ole Man is the lightest one they make at ~18 lbs, it too breaks down quickly for very easy carry in/out. It is a little wobbly climbing, but seems to be fairly stable once I'm in the sweet spot. But by far the most comfortable and quiet stand I've been in.

This if you are solely a gunhunter.
Unbeatable for comfort. Maybe too comfortable.

Summit. I've had Ol' Mans my whole life. I used a Summit last year and fell in love. For one it's way more comfortable than an Ol' Man. Next it'll actually dig into a slick bark tree(water oak, hickory, etc..) that is the deal breaker for me because I've had an Ol' Man slip as I was climbing up the tree and down the tree.
