All of the above recommendations are excellent.
Noone likes ramps but they don't say why.

Ramps are LIMITED use. They are inconvenient for many service procedures performed on a car.

Jack stands are most suitable for all under car sevice procedures.

Setting the parking brake or not setting parking brake is somewhat of a moot point especialy with automatic transmissions. What if the car has NO parking brake??? Maybe the brakes are to be serviced.

The car should only be lifted on a LEVEL HARD surface so the parking brake is a non-issue.
