Drive on type, most definitely. I used to use one at my dad's shop all the time and they're handy for most things. Exhaust and suspension work are a bit harder to set up, but doable. You gotta use a bottle jack or a jack tray to lift up the car and jackstand it.
A few positives that people don't mention when comparing to a two-post assymetric or symmetric to a 4 post are that you can rest your tools on the ramps, you can get a good corner-weight with scales since you drive on instead of jacking and dropping (camber usually screws up the reading), easier to climb up into the car if need be. Also good for earthquake country!
It'll be awhile until I get it into the shop, though.
