iCurve. Elegant, simple, unobtrusive. Brings the pb up to good eye level, helps air flow for cooling.

I use three upside-down cups; you might like the iCurve better.

I have the RoadTools Traveller's CoolPad in my bag. It's very small and fits well inside your bag/backpack/laptop case. It's the smaller cousin to the Podium CoolPad.
When I'm at home, I use the RainDesign iLap. It's made from anodized aluminum. You rest your laptop on it and it acts as a huge heat sink drawing heat away from the bottom of your laptop. As a result, the fan comes on a lot less frequently which helps reduce battery drainage.
It is ergonomically designed for use on your lap with the front cushion. You can take off the front cushion and then use it on your desk. However, it is a bit cumbersome so it's a bit bulky to put in your laptop case.
The Traveller's CoolPad is suited for your road duties due to its portability and the iLap is best for use in the office or home.

Depends on what you're using the stand for. If you want to hook up an external keyboard and mouse, get the iCurve.
If you want a better typing angle and want a way to cool the Powerbook, read the last post. I have a Coolpad also and it works great for travelling.

I've been using an iBreeze for 6 months and couldn't be happier. Excellent build quality, not too noisy and my TiBook's fans come on much less, even when doing video or gaming. I also have a Podium CoolPad, but the looks alone are night and day. The sleek, clear acrylic next to bland black plastic is a huge cosmetic step up and looks much more elegant and professional which conveys a better image to my clients in the office and the fans definitely do make a difference in cooling.
