Tama Roadpro user here, I also have a Sonor 400 series - both good. I use the Roadpro - can't say its better then the Sonor - its the one I have used since I started and I am used to the feel.

I have a DW 9502LB remote high hat stand. I am not experienced, and I have a significant disability that results in my having very little strength or coordination in my legs and almost zero in my feet. However, I needed a way to have the pedal significantly remote from vertically under the cymbals, and so a remote was the ticket for me. I think the DW works great for what it is. Pricey, but it works.
Now, just a tiny bit less than an absolute drum newbie

I'm still using the Tama Titan. Just picked up another one a few months ago that I found in great shape. Built to last.

I have a Gibraltar ultra adjust, and I love it. They don't make them anymore, but you can still find them on the 'net. It's practically a remote hi hat, but in the form of a stand.

I have a Yamaha HS740 and it works great. As long as it's set up correctly and on a stable surface it's very solid. I sometimes mount other smaller percussion from it as well.
I haven't used the Tama Roadpro hi-hat stand, but if it's anything like their boom stands, it will last forever.
I keep looking at the Tama Roadpro, and it'll probably be my next hat stand, but I just can't bring myself to replace my current one yet. I bought a Vex Pro 2 legged hi hat stand a couple years ago, brand new for 80 bucks, and it's still going strong. This stand has features that you usually only find on $200+ stands, like the cam system, adjustable tension and adjustable floorboard height.

Never heard of Vex. but look cool with the 3 chains and adjusting knob with numbers.
I just bought a DW 3000(DWCP3500) about a month ago. It was on sale at the place I buy gear from(a little mom and pop shop) and it got great reviews, so I bought it. I had a few days to try it out or bring it back. Took it home, got it all adjusted and I love it!
Update! Just ordered the Mapex H800 Armory series Hi Hat stand in chrome and black.(Will match the piano black finish with the black hardware perfectly.) I checked out several last weekend, and for the money,it will work great.
