What type you get is irrelevant. The question is: who is going to teach you how to use them? It's not as easy as it looks in that video you are so fascinated with. Believe me, I climbed poles during my electrical training and there are few trained and experienced people who can climb as quickly as that guy did. Also realize that he was on a training pole -- those are so punctured from hundreds of climbs that they are like balsa wood -- spongy and easy to drive the spikes into. Trying to climb a thicky barked hardwood tree or a real roadside utility pole full of staples and nails is a whole different ball game. Besides the spikes and rigid soled boots (which are all going to run you several hundred dollars) you need a safety harness, good gloves and a hard hat. But most of all, you need instruction and supervised experience. I've seen rookies slide down a pole and end up full of splinters -- not a pretty site.
If you are just looking to climb a tree, do it with muscle power, a pair of tight leather work gloves and a good pair of athletic shoes, like most people do. Leave the spiking rigs to the pros.
