Spooled over standard. Stability, ease, etc. Why compromise? Get both.
I only have the regular handled ones but I think a reverse handle would be great for space saving reasons.

i've had both , prefer reverse handled one, it goes both ways..........wink wink
now i have a cycle cat stand, made picking the busa up easier, thinking of getting another pitbull if i can "steal" a used one.

get the double sided stand thing where you can use spool and standard. Spooled always seemed more stable.

I'm leaning toward forward handled spool (Is it safe to assume that 'reverse' = the forward handled one on the pitbull site?)

Spooled is way better. Pit Bulls are really nice, and if I had some megabuck racebike that I was jacking up every 20 minutes I'd get it, but for the average streetbike I think cheaper stands are totally adequate.

I have pitbull stands and I don't even have a bike that needs them. LOL

Any recommendations for comparable stands? Specifically something similar to pitbulls forward handle models?

man, t-rex stands seem to have gotten a lot more expensive.

You can afford the $300 for a good set. The only other stands I'd recommend are Vortex or Woodcraft but neither are as nice as the Pit Bulls.
