I find standing to be much less efficient for me. It makes my legs burn and my HR spike. So if it's a very long climb it's a bad strategy for me.
But, if it's a pretty short duration, standing can give your butt and your back a break on a long ride.
Mixing it up is good.

I don't crash so much anymore (less blood on the trail), so just call me Stephanie
I'll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood. ~ Susan B. Anthony
