I prefer the pin type to the jaw type. I've seen some pictures of the jaw type where the teeth busted off and the stand failed. There was a post on the Porsche site where the guy had a stand fail while he was working under his car and had a lot of facial damage. Don't go cheap on jack stands! Floor jack fail too. I don't crawl under a car unless the jack stands are in place and I even leave the floor jack under the frame.
