FWIW, back when I had a more or less dedicated grocery beater, after trying 2 or 3 different types of 2-legged stands and finding that none held the bike up securely with asymmetrically and heavily (>15 lb each) rear panniers (and even with symmetrical loads, the bike could easily be knocked over), I switched to a cheap Greenfield stand mounted at the left rear dropout, and found that this did hold up unevenly loaded rear panniers, at least, it did so better than the 2-leggers.
I recall trying the Pletscher and VO 2-leggers, but I know that there is another that is said to be considerably wider. At any rate, the Greenfield worked better for me than the first 2. And it's cheap. *And* it allowed me to wheel the bike thru the aisles with the stand down -- something you can't do with other types of stand and a fixed drivetrain. If I were to use a stand again (and I'm not planning to), I'd go back to the Greenfield; in fact, I kept it -- still have it.
