Climb hill standing up or sitting down?

According to my speedometer I notice my speed is almost the same whether I am climbing standing up or seated. I do my best to spin at a high cadence, but was wondering what the recommended technique is for hills?

One advantage to standing up is motorists see you are trying your best to go fast and will be less likely to get irritated with you. Also you look more intimidating taller, then sitting down.
