An EQ5 or CG5 is now my minimum requirement for scopes up to 6" or some 8". They're fairly heavy, come with 2" stainless steel legs and are very solidly planted on the ground.

EQ3's and EQ3-2's Are great for grab and go cos they're quite light weight - but do give a fair bit of vibration. A weight hanging under the spreader can help to dampen them down a bit - plus make sure everything is firmly done up :)
