I actually operate a garage near you with a combination of two and four post lifts. I have a scissor type lift from a previous site and IMO both types have advantages. The scissor is a bit more restricted working underneath, but quite manageable, and can be installed without prior floor preparation. I have seen a two post pull out and fall with a car when installed in a room where apparently the floor concrete was not of sufficient strength or thickness to handle it. A four post is good but like the scissor is more restricted to work underneath. I also have seen the Eagle brand advertised but have no experience with them. All mine are Rotary (just happened to be there when I purchased them), but that is a very common brand for a garage. If I were to chose only one for hobby use in my home garage, I would go with the scissor.
