I would prefer the 3 ARM one. It's strong enough and the access to the flywheel bolts and oil seal is better.

I have the 4 arm one, which you can see in the pic. But I'm sure the 3 arm one is fine and probably does make some things easier/more accessible.

I have the 3-arm on an HF 1000 lb. stand. Seems plenty strong to me.

I was cheap and bought the Empi $39 unit on Amazon, I wouldn't trust it with a /6 or a high dollar /4 build as is.
