I started off buying a cheapo at the local store and soon regreted it. Then came the Velbon Sherpa 600R with a pan & tilt head, good choice but at times a little unsteady in windy conditions - probably because my lenses are heavy!
I recently purchased a Manfrotto 190XB which is more to my liking. Sturdy as hell.
Heavy is better in my opinion! Haven't tried Carbon fibre tripods yet so can't say.
