Most of the spun-wooks at a show aren't gonna be helped by either tape or lights by the end of the night, so the best option is blocking.  Having said this, the mini lights are the best option, bar none, if you want people to see your rig so they won't trip over it.

Wooks are attracted by that stuff, like moths to a lightbulb!

Now that is funny!  True but funny.
QFT. I've thought about it in the past but always figure that will just attract people to my stand faster & from further away.

Awesome. David said you were like The Wolf in Pulp Fiction. Shows up just in time with tons of gear, does a pro job, and disappears into the night! :-)

I have the glow in the dark tape on my stand, but at crowded shows there isn't always enough room for someone to see the legs. So either hang or velcro strap a small led flashlight to my stand aiming down. that way it illuminates the whole footprint. Check out these inexpensive flashlight holders that clamp to your stand: http://www.batteryjunction.com/twofish-lockblocks.html

or an adjustable one like this:

Just hang one of these on your stand/gear and make sure it can be read when they walk by.
