I'm running a standard pro-park 8 and a pro-park 8 plus Direct Lift in my shop right now. I'll be picking up a second plus sometime this next year as I need another unit to free up floor space in the 40x50. It's amazing how quick you can fill up a new shop!

I would go for the extended length and height regardless of the lift brand you buy as trucks "eat up" lift length real quick. The extra height allows you to get a truck underneath for storage. If you are planning to "stack" trucks you will probably need 14' ceilings. My '49 panel is tall enough in my 12' shop that I can probably only get my firebird or corvette under it. A pickup would allow me to go higher as I could position the cab between the trusses. Just some things to think about if you're buying your first lift.
