Depends on a lot of things. How steep, how long, where in the ride, and whether or not I'm trying to keep up with someone else.

When I'm alone, I sit and spin for as long as possible, switching hand positions and front to back on the saddle. On long or especially steep climbs I'm up out of the saddle.

I have using the standing more and more, I can sometimes find a better rhythm that way.
