Just avoid the 'standard' type. The front overhang will foul the ramp as you drive on. There are extra long versions that will work fine. It all depends how much you want to spend. There are some real fandangos around, mororised hydraulics, etc. I made mine out of scaffold planks.

Quite right about the overhang: I use the standard ones but have 2x 6' 6"x2"s that I extend the leading edge with. I support the middle of the 6"x2"s with a couple of bricks. It works well.

Was thinking of the ones i seen on this site but cannot find them again.
was red with jacks built in to them.

Check on YouTube. You'll find all the variations there. And be amazed too!

no personal experience I'm afraid. I just had a peek to see if I could find one that matched your description as I was curious what they were like anyway, I've been thinking of getting some suitable ramps anyway. Not sure what use ones with jacks on are though - how high does the car need to go on these things for everyday jobs? Not sure I'd want it teetering up there any higher on these.

They do look like they have a nice slope to them however, so hopefully they won't catch your car's front overhang on them going up. I'd get the 2 tonne ones if you can though.
