In my opinion, the best option is a submerged scissors lift. The biggest issue you're going to face in a small space is how much a 4-post is going to crowd your working area. When you're not using it, it's a huge nuisance. You could say you'll bring out a MaxJax, but that kills the best thing about having a lift, which is that you are always ready to raise your car up with no wasted time at all. If I had to choose between dragging out the MaxJax (or Quicklift) or simply jacking the car up really quickly, I'm going to almost always default to using a regular jack.
Ease of use and zero impact on working space goes to a midrise scissor lift. I've had mine for almost 15 years now, and the total cost of the project (if I'm remembering right) was $651.
