Before I go into the retail market, I thought I'd check the used market. I'm looking for a;
1) Chair-style parachute (Softie Long, or a Strong 305 Cross-Country are two that are at the top of the list)
2) Wing stand
3) One-man rigger with a narrow wing cradle.


For a wing stand I know some folks (me included) who use these from Home Depot. I glued a rubber mat to the surface to give a little extra padding as well.
