Default Buying a freestanding punch bag

Hi,

Just looking for some advice really as looking online hasn't seem to have given me much information - I currently do Muay Thai... I would like a freestanding punch bag for use at home. I know the ideal would be to get one with chains, but I cannot install it in my house (no space, living in my parents house) plus over the next couple of years I intend to move out - therefore I can't wait that long to get a proper punch bag, but then again I'd like to buy the best one I can now so hopefully it'll last a while..

So... Any opinion differences between slam man (human body style) or proper punchbag style...

I want to kick it. and if possible kick it often for shini conditioning etc... But also punch it... Lol.

Would a slam man style one be kickable, and would it be any good for my shins.

Do they fall over all the time lol :\ And obviously, can it take a beating. lol. Sorry bout the cross post to here and muay thai forum, trying to get as many ideas as possible... Thanks.
