It really depends on how high you want to lift your vehicle. I say that because my buddies camaro doesnt require nearly as much height as my tahoe.
I have a four post and love it. I had 10 foot ceilings in my shop but had enough room above to raise the ceiling in the area of my lift. I can now get my Tahoe high enough to walk under it. I know there are advantages to both types, if I am doing brake work I need to use a jack on the included tray to raise it off the platform and can use jack stands then raise the entire thing up where you want it.

I store my Z28 on top of my Corvette all the time.

Only caveat is protect the bottom car from leaks above.

Hart Rod, 12-13 feet is usually considered the minimum.

Mike,
I don't own anything that wouldn't leak all over the lower car so I know I wouldn't leave anything on top, but with that said I still can't say I would trust my cheaper brand for that purpose. Maybe if I had a Mohawk or one of the other type top line lifts but not with the one I have. It has never done anything wrong (other than my own screwup on setting legs) but I never have anything in the air without the support stands under it on each end. That would make it impossible to park anything under it. Just my 2 cents

Yea I have diapers under the '67 for leaks, she'll only give a few drips when it's been on a run, other wise it don't drip. Thanks Richard, you guys give me more confidence in stacking vehicles
