Drummer Boy 99, it all depends on the stand. Some single braced hardware is pretty good, while other single braced is not. If you are planning on ever playing live with the hardware you get, then I would recommend double braced - especially for the hi-hat stand. That said, there is a wide range of quality, even with the double braced hardware. On hardware, I would say to get the best that you can afford, and check to see if there are any good, used hardware stands that fit what you want.
