Floor Jack Pads

I am going to purchase a floor jack to install a few parts and I'm wondering which jack pads I need in order to ensure I don't damage the underside of the car. Anyone have info on which ones I need?

Any recommendations on reasonably priced (but still safe obviously) floor jacks also welcome.

Don't compromise on jacks/stands, and always have redundancies. A lot of good companies have disappeared in recent years, so you're either buying cheap stuff or considerably more expensive (and much better) stuff.

I have been using the same HF low pro hard for the past 5 years or so, if you were looking for something even better the HF Daytona low pros are even nicer. But the cost goes up. For a weekend warrior that's only going to use it a few times a year... they'll be fine.
