Question Initial climb profile?

What is the best profile to use for initial climb?

I hear one school of thought saying you should climb at Vy to pattern altitude, while another idea is to climb with the horizon on the nose cowling for better forward visibility (gives about 85 - 90 KIAS and just under 1,000 fpm in a light 172S or 172R-180 on a cold day).

Will try both and eventually pick one, but was just curious what others are using!
