Can't remember the brand name but I bought mine from the local Advance Auto store. Work fine. I also bought some of those plastic ramps - make it a lot easier to get the front off the ground. Think they are made by Rhino.

This article might answer some of your questions, but it doesn't make any specific recommendations as to brand of stands or a jack.

A lot of guys here use the low profile racing jack from Harbor Freight for about $140. Jack stands - well personally I like the kind that don't have legs, I prefer the type that have a tube welded to a solid plate.
I guess common sense is the best tool......
