I have always been uneasy with the lack of support provided by the engine stands that attach only to the motor mount bosses. These stands place a high cantilever (twisting) load on the motor mount bosses that were not designed for that type of load, and whole arrangement looks a bit unstable.
My preferred stand is this four-legged version. The only drawback is that the two rear supports bolt to the block at the bellhousing flange, so you can't install a bellhousing unless you modify the attachment points.
That's the stand I have, and I love it. It doesn't show on the website. but the cross bar has 8 nuts welded to the crossbar, and 8 engine mount bolts that can be stored in the nuts on the stand. It's nice not to have to scrounge around to find some bolts, every time you need to use the stand.
