I bought a DW snare stand when I got my kit not thinking about the 12" snare I would be using. Did anyone else make this mistake? It doesn't grip the drum as tight as I would like it to...
I use a Mapex snare stand and love it. It is able to handle a 10" snare so it has no trouble holding my PD-120. It is also very heavy, the first stand I bought I had to return for this one because it was to light and the snare trigger bounced all over the place. I did not make that mistake I bought my stand after I got my V-Pro set.
I got the Tama Stagemaster Piccilo Snare Stand, HS50P for about $60 at SamAsh. It's a special order because not many people need 12" baskets. It's light, strong, holds the PD120 like a dream, and fits really nice in my VPro case.

I use a Pearl S885W with the SBA1 adapters, which will hold a 12" snare tightly. This baby is rock solid. DW makes the 9303 snare stand designed for smaller snares, which is equally nice. I went with Pearl because I've had great experiences with their gear throughout the years.

Same here. This stand is solid, although I wish I went with a smaller diameter stand in the first place, like the Tama HS50P. The "adapted" Pearl stand isn't exactly a model of elegance. But hey, those new 14" Pintech snares are looking *nice*...

Yup, I wish Pearl would make a more elegant solution. I was first looking at the DW, but the Pearl was just as sturdy, and it was half the price! And since I only use the basket anyway, the rest disappears into the holding tube of a DrumFrame, it doesn't really matter anymore

Well....
I threw away my stands and now employ a midget to hold my drum.
He is also my tech and when playing in the fetish clubs we are the talk of the gig.
