I bought an Eagle 4-post lift about 10 years ago - loved it in every way except I could not park my 40 Ford coupe underneath - it would not go high enough even with "feet" underneath the posts.

So, do your homework for what cars you may want to park underneath - I would say to get one of the "extra tall" lifts to give you the needed clearance for anything you want to park underneath.

I've since gotten rid of the lift because I found that unless you have a working bay specifically/dedicated to use the lift in for repairs, etc, it just becomes a tall storage area and a waste. That's me - if you know of someone who has one, go check theirs out, maybe try and park your car underneath and talk to them on their practical likes and dislikes ....
