The dutch cycling association has instituded a quality mark for bicycle stands called fietsparkeur (a contraction of the dutch words for bicycle, parking and quality mark) getting the mark means:

• They don't damage your bike directly
• They allow bikes to be removed easily
• They are vandalism proof.

They have a site here which has english information at the bottom, and a list of producers here. The model called "tulip" produced by VelopA is my favorite. It is used for the streetside bicycle parking facilities near almost all dutch train stations.

The first one linked by Zigdon here is very nice, the best for space efficiency I would say, but not suited for a public space because they can be wrecked relatively easily. If they'll be behind a fence during the night you should be fine.

Finally, to boost the credibility of my suggestions, check here for reference material about the type of issues we're dealing with.
