Default Jack and Stands - Type ?

I am looking for a good car jack and (4) quality stands. Can you suggest a quality name brand - so that I can nose around on e-bay ?

Thanks

I have used all types of stands and they all seem to work about the same. As for a jack, I am still using my cheap wal-mart jack. I believe craftsman makes a low profile aluminum jack. PM me if you come up with any good deals!

I bought the Craftsman NASCAR jack. It's aluminum and light and gets the job done. I bought their jackstands as well.
I think the jack was 199.00 and the stands were 24.95.

I have a Craftsman low profile aluminum floor jack and 4 Craftsman heavy duty jack stands. They work very well on the car.
