good point on the concrete thickness, the 2 post generally want 6-8" thick slab versus the standard 4" slab for a 4 post. Many garages don't have the thickness required to safely mount a two post lift.
I use a 4 post because 95% of the time I only need to drive on and raise the vehicle to do what I am doing, instead of having to set the arms to lift the car. I also have a neat jack that slides the entire length of the lift and has arms which adjust for width and height to lift the front or rear of the car. It sets up so fast and easy it takes no time, no separate jacks, etc. Here's a pic of one similar to mine:
