1) MFT
2) UG Cart
3) Other mobile cart-type stand (Dewalt, Rigid, etc...)
4) semi-mobile miter saw bench (Paulk type)
5) non-mobile miter saw bench (wheeled but still shop-bound included)
6) Other?

Include pics, particularly for 3-6.

EDIT:
As of 2015-01-25 23:00 ET we had 32 replies with answers totaling 41 Kapex setups (if I understood the replies that had multiple answers correctly) breaking out thusly:
1) 8 (19.5%)
2) 11 (26.8%)
3) 4 (9.8%)
4) 3 (7.3%)
5) 14 (34.2%)
6) 1 (2.4%)

The two replies that use Keter tables I moved to #4 just cause it seemed like a better fit to me. :)
 
#5 for me.  Built a cart with casters but still a shop bound solution.  I am painting it today and will post pics when complete.
 
6 for me, most of the time I us my saw helper I bought from a FOG member for $200. It has twin 7' wings. Other time scaffold planks depending on what's getting cut or length of job. When I need it in my shop it just goes on any flat spot.

Or if you are working on a 100 year one room school'a bell tower you make a bench off the safety railings

#2 for me.
Very handy and lightweight when transporting on ground floors or outdoor.
Not so handy when carrying it up the stairs. Then it's to bulky.
Then the saw can better be disconnected and carried separate.
 
3, a Delta universal cart - for my current saw which will be replaced by a Kapex during the promotion.

It's a pretty heavy beast which may get rethought after I get the Kapex, but for now it's ok because I don't take it on the road.

 
2 for me also, and i agree its not the easiest to carry up stairs if you are by yourself
 
Because of the February 2015 KAPEX promotion, I have pre-ordered 2 more Kapex and one more UG stand with wings. Each Kapex is part of a combo with CT36.

In my shop we have currently 7 Kapex. One is kept on an UG stand folded to be taken to sites. That has a dedicated CT36 bought when they came out in 2010.

All of the other 6 Kapex in the shop are mounted on supports we designed and built. Along the east and west walls are long benches supporting 16' of material to the left of the Kapex and 12' of off-cut to the right. Those benches have Tiger Stop CNC instead of manual flag stops. The west wall bench also has a large 550mm radial arm saw. The east bench is for the frame and door department. Those 2 Kapex have additional miter saw shrouds connected to the shop dust collection system. Their normal Kapex dust ports are also connected to the plant DC system.

The other 4 Kapex are mounted on rolling benches I designed in 2008 with a tray near the floor for CT22s. We move those to where they are needed.

One of my present Kapex will be donated to a charity, to be replaced with one of the new ones. The second new one with the UG set will be dedicated to site jobs.
 
Used a dewalt stand I had for a while but needed to be more portable so got the ug stand with wings and never looked back, great bit of kit.
