Re: Important (or unimportant?) note
I think ideally you want the rebuys to equal the starting stacks. If starting stacks = 1500, rebuys = 1500. Rebuys should be allowed anytime your stack = 1500 or less (meaning players may rebuy instantly to 3000) during the first hour. Rebuys should cost the same as the initial buy-in. After the first hour either offer a single add-on of 2000 chips for 1x buy in, or offer players a choice of up to two add-ons of 1500 chips for 1x buyin each. Personally I prefer the double add-on format.
This is the general, standardized format for most rebuy tournaments, and I think will be recieved the best by your players. Even the smallest stacks can end the rebuy period with a competitive 6000 chips or so, so no-one will feel hopelessly short stacked unless they choose to be.
Good luck with it!
