If you have the ceiling height I would go with one that routes the cables and hoses overhead if you are buying new. The one I bought has the floor plate that covers the cables and hoses which makes it tricky if you are using a transmission jack. I bought mine used for $1000 so I can't complain. I would not go any lighter than 9000lb either. here is a pic. of mine. It goes tall enough that I can work standing straight up even working on my sons car. I did not like the idea of a 2 post lift off the start but warmed up to them after seeing the tall jack stand rests you can use to stabilize it once its in the air. The guy I got mine from gave me the 2 stands with the lift so that was a plus. There are several posts related to the lifts right here in the tools section that might help as well. I know they did when I started looking.
