I need a new kickstand

I knew this was coming. I've been using the same Greenfield aluminum alloy
kickstand for about 10 years on my GT mountain bike, which has become much
more of a road and path bike since I turned forty. This summer, I added a
pannier over my left wheel and, little-by-little, the amount of crap I pack
it with has snowballed.

(snip)
So my question is, given the additional weight I've added to the kickstand
side of the bike, can anybody recommend something a little more heavy duty
than the Greenfield? Or should I just replace what I had before?

Thanks for your suggestions!

I have had several Esge/SKS double leg kickstands. They are available in
silver or black. I bought mine from Niagra Cycle Works, who I recommend.

Depending on how your weight is distributed, one or the other wheel will be
in the air:
