The hook lift has 3 advantages over a rolloff 1, it loads faster 2, driver doesn't have to leave cab of truck and 3, they are slightly lighter.

The unit I installed the load cell system on had an 8" bore cylinder, but it really would depend on how much you want to be able to lift. You could also use twin cylinders for the lift. A rolloff would be much easier and cheaper to build but maybe not as much cool factor.
There are some decent drawings in the
Galbreath installation manual which shows their interlock among other things.
