FWIW, everyone has their own things that they look for in a stand. Yeah, height is the main consideration people seem to focus on. I'd say get a tall one...you can always go lower.
But, I also consider a small footprint to be really important. Some stands set up really solid by locking the legs without extending them all the way out fully. That's a nice feature.
What you DEF don't want is a stand with a 4 foot or even a 40 inch footprint that people are gonna be tripping over all night long. You end up spending more time watching the legs of your stand than the show (to protect others safety and your gears' safety).
