Interesting you think a bottle jack is safer than the stock jack. The stock jack is a screw, strong, well made and locked into the jack hole. Nothing much can fail as long as the jack is kept vertical and the car does not roll (that's where wheel chocks come in). Bottle jack has hydraulics which can fail, car is just resting on top of it and not locked in any manner. I'd choose the stock jack over a bottle jack any day.
