At home its a Craigs List find Park stand . If you hang out long enough you can find a good used stand for the price of cheap new. There was a Work Force brand just this week for $50.
Professional bike repair stand
But I have to admit that I store my primary commuter on 2, 2x4 boards (like the lowes stand) and do basic maintenance there. I have wrapped the 2x4s with some scrap closed cell foam to protect the frame.
For on the road, I have some cordage (strong string) and old strips of tubes in my seat tool bag. These have come in very handy to suspend bike for field repairs and or secure dumpster finds
