Always. Got crushed once by being careless. Made a vow to never let it happen again. The quick jack is a secure device but I feel better with the extra security.

I have the 5000 and have never used stands with them, have left a 4000+ pound car on them for over a week and not one bit of an issue
Only time I would consider using stands is if I couldn't lift to one of the lock points or knew I lifting a car that was greatly overweight

I have a set of Race Ramps that I turn around and place under the front tires when I am doing an oil & filter change. I have faith in the QuickJack, but you can never be too cautious.

You're not really using both, the car is either on the stands or on the quickjack. I'd think jack stands are more secure, so using the quickjack to lift the car and setting it down on the jack stands is likely best. Doesn't hurt to keep the quickjack up just in case though.
