I don't have a clear opinion, though I've used both extensively. I think stake-and-weave allows better access to fruit and better fruit sizing. But the cages go up quick and you don't have to do anything else the rest of the year. I suggest trying both to see what you prefer.

Is there an advantage to using cages over using the Florida weave system?
