I want really really good ones that I don’t have to jack a vehicle to match up with one of the elevation holes in the adjustment range.

You all have done it. Jack up vehicle, slide jack stand under. Up a notch it won’t fit, down a notch...too low! Hmmm, let me jack it up some more..oh too high, pull pin..clank! Ouch! Blood blister. Kick jack. Cuss.
Jackstands are usually a pain in the rear. I prefer the kind that's like this to the hole in the center. It's a bit easier to lock and unlock, although they do have to go up a bit to unlock.
