The problem is that there's no one-size (real) answer. What you do in fact do is going to be based on your equipment (both aircraft and avionics) and the conditions.
The climb to MSA is somewhat obvious but the direction you take is going to be based in large part on the climb performance of your aircraft, the surrounding terrain and the weather conditions (the VFR option already mentioned), all of which you, of course briefed.
