I'd say go with the J & S. It is a total quality Jack.
Unless of course you want heavier duty, better stability, wider footprint. 24 inch jack height and grease zerks on all moving parts.
Then you'll need to get the Pitbull.
IMHO I own a J&S Jack for my Road King Classic 2009. It does everything and more then I expected. As far as the sears jack or harbor fright jack , they are not even in the same league . Id say If you are buying a Jack for your precious ride go with the quality Jack (J&S) Or the pit bull both are great.
I use a Pit Bull, it's close to the same price as the J&S but raises higher, that was the deciding factor for me. I had an issue with it about a year after I got it, it wouldn't go to max height with the Road King on it. I called Pit Bull and they explained it was most likely air in the pump and told me how to purge/pump it out. Easy fix. Top notch jack and company. I can put various bikes on it but it seems designed for Harleys, like the J&S.
How valuable is your bike and what do you want it to be on up in the air?

Great reply, had me chuckling as I read it.
I just bought a Pitbull, but mainly because they were at the bike show and I didn't have to pay shipping. I think the J&S are good lifts too, hell, they look like a direct copy, but Clint makes some good points. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.
Just got the Eazy Rizer Lift, lifts-and-stands.com. Saw them at Daytona Bike week this week and liked it. Will be here Wednesday. Do you need it, nah. Gotta have it, priceless.
I've got to tell you I am using the Pitbull Jack and this thing is the bomb. The bike is rock solid on this thing and I can work on my bike standing up. It is money well spent for anyone serious about working on their own ride.
