I've got some really nice ramps, they're polyethelene and have a honeycomb
under them, they're very sturdy, but if stands make you feel safer, then go
for it.

I dunno, i just see it as extra unnecessary steps. Most plug boots seal
well enough to prevent moisture from getting in there anyway, and if
anti-sieze makes you feel more comfortable, go with it. I usually change
mine at about 9 - 10k miles anyway, my MSD box and coil eat up ignition
parts pretty quickly.
