Adjustable one is fine I find. Keep chainline straight and adjust the resistance.
To be honest, I rarely ramp the resistance up much - trying to improve leg speed and efficiency so keep cadence high. Plus, I really don't see the point of trying to simulate 'climbs' on a turbo - seems pointless leg pressing at low cadence when you could just do off the bike strength stuff or do some hill reps ( at least your technique would improve). I really just use the turbo as a time efficient way of working specifically on threshold or vo2 efforts without fuss and getting used to managing efforts.
