I generally have a mix of Characters in with the units, as how I would usually take them. I like the way the unit can stack up normally and seem more cohesive that way.
Special Command Stands, like IG Colonels, SM Chapter Masters etc I have done / will do on different style bases to make them stand out more

As for myself, I have a stand w/ a commander and a stand w/o, for example, my SM Termie Det is 4 stands of 5 and 1 stand of 4 plus a chaplin, and i swap that "command" stand in and out.
Mostly in, really. I've found that my chaplan is a must have for my termie det and you might find your commander is a must have for yours.
You might consider putting him on the stand, and if you end up not wanting to pay the points for him, just tell your opponent "Ignore this guys fancy get-up, I didnt pay points for an upgrade."
Or blu-tac him on?

We base one "Leader" and 4 troops ... in some cases one leader, one banner/guidon, 3 troops. And with the new E:A C-packs, sometimes 2-3 various commmanders plus 2-3 troops, ie.: Commander, Commissar, Banner, 2 troops ... for example ...

Hi!
I am increasingly liking the idea of basing command units on circular bases to make them stand out. They look very nice.

Yes they are very pretty, but usefull too when you have a short number of troops 
They can be used to put special characters or special objectives (example a enginier team that must be recued)

Thanks Guys,
I'm negotiating a trade right now for more marines but the guy seems kinda hesitant. So depending on the outcome I will probably follow Bans example, which by the way are excellent.

Well since Characters are infantry and infantry is described as a stand with anywhere between 3-7 models on it you are going to have to add a couple of troopers on your stand if you wanna keep it legal. If you are playing friendly games and your mates don't mind then do it however you want.
