I would like to suggest the Armor Stand Tools plugin for Minr. The plugin is basically an easy way to do things to armor stands which would normally require pretty complex commands. It also makes changing the armor stands after placing them possible, which saves a lot of time. I think that this plugin will help map builders create more complex armor stands without needing extensive experience with the summon command.

How it works:
When a player types /ast the armor stand tool inventory pops up. This will replace your current inventory, but after using /ast again it will restore that. With the armor stand tool inventory you select to place an armor stand. This will make an armor stand fly in front of you which will follow your head directions so you can place it at roughly the area you want it to be. After placement, shears in the inventory can be used to move the armor stand in every 6 directions by holding it down on the armor stand (there are 3 shears, shifting does the opposite of what standing does. Example: shear Y will lift the armor stand, shifting while holding it will move it down).
After moving it, left clicking in the air with the armor stand menu will toggle you through different parts of the armor stand to move. When back at the menu, you can also click a nether star looking at an armor stand. This will open a small menu with which you can do things like:
-Toggle gravity (flying armor stand or one that can fall)
-Toggle size between baby armor stand and adult
-Toggle invisibility
In this menu you can also change the armor and add items in the left and right hand of the armor stands.
As for possible issues, the plugin does respect regions with worldguard, but the last time I've worked with it (which is a year ago) people could summon the flying armor stand and walk around it on other regions (just not place them). That's kind of an aesthetic issue as it will not really affect gameplay, but of course it's not something you'd want. This is why I think only OP's should be able to summon the armor stands, or the command should be disabled anywhere.
Greenies could get some smaller perms but maybe the invisibility would be a problem as the armor stands would be kind of pesky to find.
Worldedits near armor stands was also kind of an issue, as this would destroy the armor stands, but it may be a solution to fix places flooded/invisible with armorstands.
In conclusion, the armor stand tool would make creating lots of creative armor stands a lot easier, but should be adapted before implementing to avoid any abuse and issues.
