Are all water tube boilers suspended from overhead or set on columns to take care of expansion and contraction?

No. Most, like Stirling, B&W and Heine boilers are suspended from steel work with cleats or U-bolts, however some designs are not suspended. A small vertical water tube boiler could have been mounted on a base with the expansion from heating moving upwards. A Clayton steam generator is a coiled boiler mounted on a base. Robert's or Almy marine boilers are mounted on bases. Automotive water tube boilers were mounted on automotive frames.

What design of boiler is best at raising steam - a short fat one or a long skinny one?
Raising steam up high would be a long skinny one because it's taller, but raising more steam would be a short fat one... :) Edit: Sorry, should have said, these hypothetical boilers are horizontal, saturated-steam fire-tube boilers driving two simple-expansion (i.e. not compound) cylinders. In other words, a steam locopmotive! Not vertical boilers.
