Build or buy? I have don both. The built one was purpose built. It didn't have a grizzly. You removed the larger material by hand. We built it to wash massive amounts of clay. The highbanker I bought had to be modified to run clay. It would just run off the back. If you build, just buy the sluice you would like to use and build a stand. The hopper can be mounted to the Stand so the sluice is removable. I am in the process of building a massive highbanker.

Ya, I am stuck at the whole stand stage. I want something sturdy but not so heavy I am thinking of not taking it out.

You can get the square aluminum tubing at Lowes that fits inside each other. Then you can drill holes through it and use pins or screws with wing nuts to set the height. You can also weld nuts on it and use thumb screws but they slip under heavy loads...
If you drill holes in it you can use both sides of the tubing and get 1/2" or maybe 1/4" settings. I think I would stick with the 1/2" settings myself and use 1/4" bolts with wing nuts for fast set ups and break downs. I know where I can get the feet welded up for you. Then again you can make the feet, they are not that hard to make if you get some small pieces of aluminum plate or flat stock, just bend up the out side edges and drill a hole.

Get on the gold hawg site and buy their legs holder thingy's. They work out good for what the build and they build some big rigs.
They also had a video on a clay situation where they just caught the clay in a tub behind the grizzly and ran it through after it softened up.

Or... let the clay dry and crush it is what I do. I have seen that blue clay take forever to break down. I throw it up on bank and take home most of the time. Ya got to move that material in a short time...
