Couldn't someone just do a more or less reasonable A-B-A-B test of different hill climbing methods? Someone who commutes in hilly territory could try one method on even days, another on odd days, and average it out after 2-3 months.
I crawl up hills at the slowest possible speed, often reducing both gear and speed instead of keeping gear and stepping on it, but I have no idea if this is the best way to do it since 95% of my driving is in flat-to-slightly-rolling terrain.
