If you're tripod wobbles even the tiniest bit during an exposure you'll get a fuzzy soft photo through camera shake. So spend a bit of money and get the sturdiest triopd you can. The next thing to think about is the tripod head. A big strong 'pod is going to be useless if you put a bendy plastic head on it. I prefer ball heads because they're quicker and easier to use than thos fiddly pan and tilt heads which about three things to unlock and adjust each time you set up a shot. Finally don't be cheap - be prepared to invest some proper money into a tripod - at least £100 minimum because it'll last years and years and will make a bigger difference to your photography than anything else.
