Tubes off grinder or vacuum sealer for ground meat?

Came across this apparatus in my scrolling.

Made me think about whether the tubes for ground meat were still the best option for:
Space in freezer
Cost per unit
Time to produce packages of ground meat
Protecting against freezer burn.

I feel like square bricks of ground meat uses soace in freezer more efficiently but vacuum bags cost more and sealing takes longer and there is more extra material.

Thoughts?

I prefer vac bags because the stand up neatly like books after being frozen.

Tubes for me. Can’t say I have ever had burger freezer burn in them. But I don’t grind a year at once. About 25 pounds at a time. Shuffle stuff in the freezer enough and you lose vaccum seals

DEFINITELY THIS!!! just got my Chamber Vac and did the first round of ground deer. Having uniform bags and flattening them out before freezing makes storage so much easier. I have always found the tubes to be a PITA

I use tubes but this is definitely the best route. Also the best thing about ground meat in sealed bags if you do them thin. They thaw much faster than traditional tubes.
