Hmmm... Scot, are you the one that makes the SStillwell plugs?

If you're not in the band, you had better be out front unless venue management gives you no choice in the matter. If you're running monitor world, that's a different story.
I mix from stage because the guys that can do it better than I can cost too much relative to how much bands get paid in our market - otherwise I'd just pay them and relax and PLAY, which is exactly what I do on the odd gig where I do have the option. I'm happy to share the love if we're getting paid well (which is f*cking rare, let me tell you.
)
If I'm running sound for others, I do it from front of house, wirelessly if at all possible. I still have both kinds of rigs, though, and tailor the load to the gig.

PS: Yes, the JS plugs in REAPER labelled sstillwell were written by me (with a few exceptions where somebody re-wrote one with additional features). I also write VST plugins for sale on
http://www.stillwellaudio.com - which is in my signature. Sales blurb over.
