I think the interval distance of the steps matters more than the style or brand. Each has their pros and cons.

What I have found is that when you are in the third step of the Yates Speed Ladders (similar to second step in traditional style aiders), I want the aider biner to just come up to my crotch.

That way, I am at least in a position of more stable tension when I fifi in on a steep wall.

For topstepping, you can use adjustable aiders or fifis, a biner on your daisy chain, or a quik clip.
