I vote stand because I plan on keeping it safe and being aware of what is going on around it. I can drop it off a stand just the same as i can drop it while pulling it out of a HSC. Then do we start blaming HSC's and burn them all in the middle of America? No, we go on with what we are comfortable with and try not to do it again. To each his own. (but a little bit more to the Stand-People)

Wagh. It's amazing that instrument stands are even made considering the obvious conspiracy instituted by stands to break musical instruments. The only damage to my instruments has occurred when they were being held by someone, not something.

All stands are not created equal. The kind where your instrument rests on arms with the neck leaning back into a yoke are accidents waiting to happen. The ones like the Hamilton KB-38 where the instrument hangs from the peghead are *much* more secure. You would have to knock the entire stand over. I've used them for more than 25 years with no problem, around pets, children, and on stage. Nothing is risk-free, but in my experience, the KB-38 is the best design, portable and very durable.

Gee, my factory hardshell case broke the neck of my Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard about 10 years ago. Seems I placed a rolled up strap under the peghead and the pressure on the Keith tuners caused a crack at the volute when the close fitting case pressed the banjo into the case. Gibson replaced the neck as I did not know what caused it. When I figured it out, I didn't bother to call the factory and correct the situation. I blamed their case instead.
