Unless I'm really crunched for space I leave the rod in and raise the upper portion to protect the rod as much as possible. I also keep the hi hat clutch on the top of the rod to keep the washers from falling off too.
I break mine down, the rod goes inside the bottom part, I replace the top part and put it as low as it can go. It protects the rod from getting bent. The clutch and hi hat felts get screwed together and it goes in my cymbal bag.

I don’t break it, and I leave the clutch on it. I put an elastic band to keep the pedal against the folded leg. I have always had Tama hardware, and the bottom felt is glued, no risk to lose part.
I move the clutch to the top of the rod and unscrew the rod. When I dismantle the hi hat stand the rod fits inside the top part of the stand and the clutch keeps it there in transit. It lives in a travel hardware bag which is a snug fit once everything is in so it never moves.
Never had any problems just folding the stand up and putting it in the car before I got the single braced stuff that has its own bag. The bag footwell makes for an excellent stand storage compartment.
I unscrew the rod and put it upside down into the upper tube to protect it from bending. The clutch keeps the rod in place and that way the felt doesn't get lost.
