+1 for the Hercules stand. The auto-grab system is very cool and has saved the guitar a couple of times already from small children and an overactive pooch.

Guitar Center usually has these on sale for around $35. Well worth it.

Some stands do have foam rrubber (or just rubber) that - over time - starts to sort of 'melt' into the finish of your guitar and ruin it. The hercules don't.
