I try to avoid using my Hi-Lift unless it's absolutely necessary (deep mud comes to mind)--in the garage or on pavement, a scissor jack is the better (and safer) method for changing a tire.
My old Jeep club (BMJA) used to reinforce that using a Hi-Lift can be extremely dangerous if you're not thinking about what you're doing and get careless.

As to scissors jacks, I never ever trust them. I have had more than one twist, then collapse. They are suicidal.
Hyrdraulic Jacks with Jack stands are the safest.
