Default Question about car lifts

What kind of car lift would be best to have for F-Bodies? I've been researching, and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages to them, So I was wondering what kind of car lift would be best.

Do you mean brand or style? As has been mentioned Rotary is the only brand I would consider but as far as a style it depends on your budget, garage space and what you wanna do on it.

I went with a rotary 4 post cause I like the storage. I think for working on them the 2 post would be easiest but theres nothing a 2 post can do that mine cant.

one thing i have noticed about mine it is a pain to put Vettes up in the air. not really good spacing but other than that i really haven't had any issues with other cars unless lowered and have to use boards/floorjacks
