Yes go with quality, your life will be depending on them.
As far as 2 ton stands go I would suggest you spend a few more dollars and buy the 6 ton or larger.
Maybe you are only working on a little Toyota.
The height you need to support the vehicle at is determined by the size of your belly, having 2 ton stands on the top setting will have way more sway and slop when compared to a larger stand up one or two clicks.
I once watched someone lean against the front fender of a little 4 cyl car with no engine or transmission in it.
It was sitting on little stands that were fully extended.
One stand folded up like a wet noodle as the car dropped to the floor.
Look at the geometry of small stands when fully extended.
In my opinion are they are not safe enough for me to be crawling around under something that could kill me if they fail.

Put stands in place
Lower jack but leave it in place as a back up
Try to shake, rock or bump the vehicle off the stands
Better it fall when you are next to it than when you are under it trying to tug on something.
