I was searching for a low-profile floor jack that didn't have to be portable, and would prevent the old "drive onto the wooden blocks *then* use the floor jack. I found this jack to be low enough to get under tight spots for a lowered car.
I didn't get a lot of super-descriptive information about any of them, and many links were out of date.
Many folks have recommended things like the sears aluminum racing jack, but I found the sides go up too quickly to really give me the clearance I needed.
So - in case you were shopping for one I thought I would throw out a few pictures of the American Forge and Foundry 200T Low-Profile floor jack.
So far - I find it to work very well, and since I was after the clearance, it has worked wonders. Even my portable jack doesn't give me as good of clearance since the sides taper up too steeply.

The only thing I would like to be able to change is to put on a smaller cup.
