What type shim should I buy for wobbly umbrella stand?

The nelson 8" wood shims have always worked for me in shoring up anything that wobbles. Like a table, a dresser, or even an umbrella stand.

Will these work for a heavy hutch on padded carpet or will they crack?

they probably won't crack, but they'll bow. I would use the composit. they're grooved so you can break off the extra rather than try to cut/break the wooden ones

are these flat or tapered?

Tapered. Typical shins. From near a quarter inch to bear nothing.

Will these work to level fish tank stand?

I would use a composite type , not wood around water. These work very well in carpentry situations.
