Toptube on shoulder works for diamond frames, but I find as I've gotten older that hefting it up there can be a chore. With the Clem I bend my knees a little, one hand at curve, one hand on left handgrip, and stand up straight. I find this method a bit easier, but I wouldn't say either is significantly better than the other for normal bike weights. The latter becomes more important to me after I add the electric kit, which pretty much assures I need the "liftatube" feature, something you won't be dealing with.
