Are there any long term problems with leaving the 916 on a paddock stand, there must be some presure on the internals of the rear Hub.
Over the Winter months should you alternate between Paddock stand and side stand.
Yes the side stand, not very confident inspiring...:(

Paddock stand every time,both front and rear preferably.
Saves you getting a flat spot on the tyres.

I've had one side stand go on me...scary day.

Always leave it on a paddock stand in the garage now.

Paddock every time, and as said earlier by Keefy, front as well. It won't do any harm to the internals.
