Front stands

[was92v]

Opinions please!

I am going to buy a front stand and I can't decide between the pin in bottom of the forks type or one with the two horizontal pins that catch the bottom and rear of the lower forks. What do you all prefer? Why?

I've been riding sport bikes with no center stands since 92' and have gotten by without one. Now I don't have any bike riding friends around where I live to bum off of and I'm going to have to buy one. Actually a rear stand will lift mine by putting the flats under the caliper mounts, but since I am going the have to buy something it might as well be a real front stand.
