First of all, as a contractor I feel your pain about job site theft. No matter who took your grinder, I hope you find out who it was and beat him to death with the same grinder.
For a grinder used as a sharpener or reprofiler, I think slower is better. A less aggressive machine is always a good idea on a cutter as you can easily burn the metal or take too much off.
Most of the guys in the woodturning group I know use this one, including me:

have two, and one I have had for about 10 years. The wheels are good, not great, but certainly serviceable. Be aware; they aren't Norton type wheels. You will need to true them up.
The good news is the oldest grinder still runs like the day I bought it, and the original wheels last a really long time. Some of the guys in the club still have the same wheels that came with the grinder after years of moderate use.
This one is easy on the pocket book, too.
