On hills i use front brake until rear-tyre has enough drive torque to at least overcome gravity. When you feel back wheel starting to pick up bike and lift front end, let go of front brake, add gas, release rest of clutch and go.

Using back brake doesn't let engine torque spin wheel and you go nowhere. In fact, you can be at full-throttle and rear brake will keep rear wheel from spinning at all!
