I my experience the Erlenmeyer flask is better for certain things than others.... what I mean is that is has labeled measurements on the side and the increments are based on the size of the flask but the volumetric flask is better is you want to dilute a solution at a certain volume to find....molarity

they both have good qualities it just depends on what you want to use it for.

What is the use of Erlenmeyer flask in the laboratory?

I can honestly say I've never heard of an "Erlenmeyer flask stand". 100% of the time I've ever seen an Erlenmeyer flask on a "stand" it was on a ring stand, which is used for ... among other things ... supporting an Erlenmeyer flask. It's also often attached to the stand by a clamp of some sort for additional stability.
