Grid-type hoop supports can be better than open hoops because they provide support not just for the whole clump, but for individual stems.

The problem with staking is that you may need rather a lot of them to support all the stems in larger clumps, or where a large number of peonies are grown. While its quite normal for plants to droop a little over the season, if you have a particularly top heavy flower, it can be frustrating watching them dive towards the earth. Peonies are classic blooms for this sort of thing: their blousy, beautiful flowers can often overpower their stems. There are plenty of ways of stopping your peonies from drooping down, and peony supports are a good place to start.
