I personally would go with XLR for the connections. In regard to a stand the tripod stands are fairly stable, however it does depend on how far you need the boom to reach. The farther out you have to place the boom the less stable the mic stand unless you get recording studio type equipment that are heavy and balanced. Those will set you back a few more pennies. I have an AT2020 mounted on a boom stand about half way and if I went any further I would have balance problems.

Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas,
