Advice on buying a front stand

I have been using a rear stand for a while (mainly for cleaning and greasing the chain) but would like to buy a front stand to keep the wheels off the ground when idle for longer periods and to be able to apply tyre warmers (cold days on the street and trackdays). I see that there is a choice between a headstock stand and a wheel stand. What are the apllications for both types of stands and what are the pro and cons.
I would be using a headstock stand for instance for bleeding the forks but other that that....

It it were me I would go with a headstock stand, I have a front stand that picks up from the bottom of the forks and it SUCKS, it's so unstable I don't use it.

Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the champion, had never heard of that one before or seen another one that uses pins so I just ordered the KTM one which cost quite a bit more than that, oh well at least it'll take up a bit less room in the garage as I haven't got much room as it is.

I use the Pitbull converter front stand. One part lifts the front end by the bottom of the forks. Add the converter and it lifts it by the steering head
and you can remove or work on the forks.
Great and stable stand.
