To my mind a tripod would be the most stable if it were stationary, but moving around I think calls for 4 or even 5 wheels.

What are the smoothest castors/wheels going
All the cool kids are using castors based on in-line skate wheels.
Edit Oct. 22: Just done this upgrade on my office chair (Joyvita brand off of Amazon) Simultaneously amazing and, until you get used to them, terrifying compared with the stock IKEA plain bearing plastic casters. Definitely doing the upgrade from the off when I get a new chair.

If you go the inline skate wheels route as Tester says, you’ll do worse than popping some half decent skate bearings in there. Some Bones Reds are a good budget choice. For wheels, go for something under 80a (this is the urethane hardness - ‘durometer’).

I want to make a kind of stool that I can screw something to and wheel around but the wheels need to be buttery smooth and move in any direction, so as well as buttery wheels I need buttery swivels for them. I presume a tripod design seems the most stable.
