I have spent a lot of time on this question. My deliberations were influenced by: 1) the fact that I already had a transmission jack before my first engine swap and 2) that I have Quickjack 3500s with a limited lift hieght. With the transmission jack and a low profile floor jack I am able to get the engine and transmission out as a unit. I looked at motorcycle jacks and it seemed to me that they would have caused clearance problems. If you are working with a lift or some other manner of lifting the car the motorcycle jack or hydraulic table might be the way to go.
Some of my experiences are detailed here:
