So after a lot of consideration, and the fact that my primary requirement was to have a relatively more robust jack for travel than the scissor jacks I decided to go with a portable CAT off-road unit. Ordered it from Autozone for under $100 (after their $20 online coupon).
Costco takes care of our tire rotations for free and I don't work on wheels or brakes in my garage so the key feature that we required was portability for long distance travel (we have a spare wheel for both cars). This unit weighs around 25 lbs and is compact enough to be thrown in the trunk.
