which uses less hip muscles, standing or sitting?

I am wondering which position uses less hip muscles when biking. I have broken both hips so they tend to get sore, I am basically wondering if it is easier to stand and sprint uphill or sit and go uphill with a higher cadence. I see videos of lance standing and sprinting uphills more than sitting. Is it really preference, or is there something more? I am thinking of just getting good at standing and sprinting uphills and getting better at doing it that way. Any comments?
