The only live stud game I've ever played is a $5/$10 with $1 ante, $2 bring in. I'm happy with this structure, never heard complaints.
I've also heard of games played with the following structure: 1 chip ante, 2 chip bring in, 4 chip small bet, 8 chip big bet (and played it a bit in home games and thought nothing bad of it).
Generally I'm going to vote for bigger antes, more action, more hands. Good for the game in general.
