I'd say stay away from EBC Prolite... They work brilliantly, but if your bike ever sees rain they rust like mad things. The pads clean the friction surfaces but the rest of the disc ends up very scabby.

As far as stands are concerned, an ABBA or NWS stand is a great buy- you could get the wheel off with a set of normal stands for £40 (you do need to support the rear if you're using a front one) but all you can do with that is remove the wheel- no fork removal. YOu can get ones that lift under the yoke or frame, still not great though. An ABBA or NWS means you can do, basically, anything you want. Take out the rear shock? No probs. Remove the whole front end and muller out the bearings? OK then.
