Default 4 post hoist for shed - comments good/bad brands?.

Now that project cobra is almost complete, I am looking at a hoist for my shed.

It has to be a 4 post hoist as I will be doing work on a wide range of cars, dating back over 100 years now, and a 2 post wont do the job in my opinion. 4 post with jacks seems to be what I am looking at.

I've narrowed it down to the following and was wanting comments on peoples use if they have had an experience with them

Tecalemit
Tufflift
Molnar
Bendpak

The runway needs to be long as these other cars have long wheel bases, 3.8M is the longest from measurements.

I have 3 phase power in the shed, but most are single phase.

Looking at one that goes a bit higher given my height as I'm sick of working underneath cars where I have to bend all the time.

Any constructive comments are helpful!.
