How to get into space from northern latitudes?

What would be the best way to launch space craft/get into space from a northern latitude? Canada, Scandinavia, UK, Russia, Alaska, those sorts of places. I understand that being closer to the equator gives benefits due to rotational speed etc, but what are the options for those not on the equator? Space elevator is out but what are the other options? Would a skyhook work? Space fountain? Just regular old rocket launches? Which would be more energy efficient: fountain or launches? Thanks!
