Bandai's Tamashii Stages are pretty much the go-to as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure there are better ones or cheaper ones somewhere out there but you absolutely cannot go wrong with a Tamashii stage. The two major versions are:
Act 3- designed for the lighter, humanoid figures, particularly the SH Figuarts line produced by bandai's under the Tamashii Nations subdivision (hence the name!), these have a good amount of poseability and a few options for attaching figures. Generally a 3mm peg which can be used directly or plugged into a couple of different types of claw.
Act 5- pretty much the same features as the act 3, but beefier. They have bigger bases and differently shaped posts, which have stiffer (or possibly even ratcheted) joints. This allows them to take more weight than the act 3; gundams, transformers, and.even the mostly die-cast soul of chogokin line get on fine I believe.
Personally, I only have an act 3 set (which actually comes with 3 stands) that I mainly use for Figuarts- but it'll happily take a deluxe in a flight pose or even a standing voyager that just needs a little more support. Not yet gotten round to getting an Act 5 so I can't be totally certain on everything I said above, but if you want to double check I'm sure there are written and video reviews floating around for them!
