I will definitely second craftsman stuff. But I also bought my jack at Sam's. It's a 3.5 ton jack, and actually doesn't fit under the car real well. I solve that by parking the car on boards. It's a very, very heavy jack and has worked great. Possibly it wouldn't last long enough in a shop, but as often as I use it (once every couple of weeks) it's been great.

I have four 3-ton stands I bought in pairs at Wal-Mart. They're anlso very substantial, but they have a notched perch on them, and honestly I wish more often than not that they were flat. If I ever find any that big with a flat perch, I'm buying them.

Anyway, so I don't screw around. I get stuff that's 'rated' way higher than what I need. Those 3-ton stands have a much wider footprint than the 2-ton guys.
