There are several good systems out there. I used to have one of
Udo's, which worked quite well for me. I now have the locally-made
(Arizona) WIngRigger, which is somewhat similar to the Udo design, but
with a couple of extra features. It has three big wheels - very
useful if you're not rigging on a smooth surface - and it doesn't fall
over like the Udo if you don't get the legs out (we've all done
that!). The WingRigger feature I find most useful is a gas-assist
lift mechanism rather than a mechanical or electric screwdrive that
some others have. This is simple and holds most of the weight of the
wing while you can make fine adjustments.

Whatever system you favor, I'd recommend getting your hands on one and
seeing it in action.
