Hydraulic bike lift

I have the Triumph aftermarket aluminum skid plate installed.

My question is, is there any reason I should not use a hydraulic (bottle hand pump MC specific type) lift/stand under it? It looks solid enough.

I was going to buy a paddock stand, but I will get more clearance with the hydraulic type. Canadiantire and Sears (and many others i'm sure) sells them..the ones with 2 lift arms.

It everyone recommends to stay away from them, I will go for a paddock stand...are they one size fits all? Or are they all bike specific? What width would I need to fit the bobbins? I know...sorry, that is 2 questions lol.

ok...three...anyone use scissor stands?
