What are some good stands for flat-panel TVs?
I own the BDI Avion. A little pricey, but I love it.

BDI makes the best dedicated stands but as the above mentioned they are pricey but come fully assembled. Having sold them in the past, i can tell you they all are the best built piece of furniture you will ever own.
BellO tends to try and copy the BDI design, and they do a good job. Almost all of their stands require assembly, and done right will last for a long time.
Again, I will bring up Ikea they also require assembly, and are normally made up of some kind of fiber board and not wood, but they are very inexpensive, modern, and last for awhile as long as you don't move them a lot.
A side note: always remember with TV stands not to tighten the bolts/screw until you are done building to ensure it sits flat without wobbling.
I have an Ikea Leksvik for my TV (52" Samsung LCD). We shopped around forever to find the right size and style, and this met both. Well-priced, too.
But ultimately, one of the great things about flat-panel TV's is that they can be put anywhere, or on anything. Don't limit your search strictly to "TV stands". A unique table or piece of antique furniture would do the trick just as well, while also creating a point of conversation.
The problem of buying furniture these days is that many manufacturers use the cheapest material they can find to cut costs. The customer always thinks they are getting a good deal until the furniture piece starts falling apart.
We bought ours from Timeless Elements
We ordered the Legare Furniture STAO-120 This entertainment stand is so cool and we build the entire stand with no tools, no screws or bolts and best of all, it was like a LEGO!
restoration hardware had this coo easel, I dont know if they still have it but it was listed here.....looks nice in the house.
Take a look at http://www.tvstands.com. I ordered a BellO' stand from them and love it, http://www.tvstands.com/Bello-PVS-4215HG-BB1155.html. Nice modern design and very stable construction. Holds my center channel, my Denon Receiver (which is quite large in comparison to most) and my ps3.
