There's two factors at play with my commentary on jacks vs ramps... Might as well share them since they relate somewhat.

1. We have a smooth concrete floor garage - slick enough I think ramps would scoot. So level surface isn't an issue.

2. I'm an oil drainer, not an oil vacuumer. Therefore, my car gets jacked up every 5,000 miles because I rotate my tires every time I change the oil... so ramps are useless for 95% if not an even higher percentage of the work I do to the car. If the tires come off 95% of the times the car goes in for service, what's the point in having ramps anyway?
