What jack stands

Anyone use the daytona or esco circular style jack stands when working on these cars? I wanted to get a new set of jackstands before i do timing belt and oil pan reseal. Was curious about these. Open to other suggestions just want something well made and safe.

I've had the Big Red's for easily 10 years now and are my go-to since they're aluminum (the lightest), have the nice wide base as to not dig into my brand new driveway, and the car's jacking point sits much nicer on top of them than my others with the curved top.
If I need any more, I have 2 other pairs (Daytona-STYLE, but i forget their exact make) which are much heavier (which is both a blessing and a curse) but their feet tend to eventually dig into the driveway. But since they have the curved top, it's hard to find a good place on the car to place them.

daytona 3ton but the full rating is with the lock key in! you can find a coupon online most of the time for them and they will last years. If you need more height, their 6-ton ones are great. I use them for the MDX!

for the most part yes; when I did the rear sway bar I opted to go higher with the 6-ton stands and give me some more room. Same with the axle replacement
