I'd go with a good carbon fiber type and 3-legged solution & w/o the middle column....it does wonders for stability. After several years, I still like the Feisol (4.5 lbs) that I have. If you hike longer distances (longer than 100' ) your back will thank you. You can add rocks/water/sand from the middle, while you are in the field....for even more stability.
