I'd rather avoid something that is going to fail and break stuff--defeats the purpose of the equipment. My '03 Accent weighs 1023 kg (less than 2T). I don't want to go lower than a 2722 kg (3T) jack stand; the idea is to not push the jack stand anywhere near where the welds or locking pin will fail.
I would go with jackpoint, but they're outside of my budget. If I had a $15,000 car, they would be worth it.
They do set the standard for the shape of the seats-- wide flat discs with a half-inch notch in the middle, wide lower plate; the plates are made to be raised by a pneumatic jack and then supported by the stands. Most jack stands don't take that shape; they're cupped with raised curved edges on the outside. I'm still researching the jack points for the LC Accent; right now it appears that the jack stand points are all flat (not really a good thing; a vertical double metal piece has a one dimensional linear axis to move along if it's going to slip; with flat box frame pieces, potential slips could go any direction along the flat two-dimensional axis). I've got a thread on hyundai-forums asking about specific points.

(there's one other point close to the bumper behind the wheel well that isn't highlighted--it's double metal, appears to be subframe, and doesn't have a bolt; I'd rather use that area than the subframe closer to the lateral center to reduce roll).
Doesn't look like I have much of a choice with picking vertical rail subframe pieces; it's not the same as the 3rd gen Accents, unfortunately.
I'm looking for quality over price. My two top picks are Wilmar and Pittsburgh (probably Wilmar as the top contender). Country of manufacture is not a deciding factor for me (e.g. a Switzerland jack stand isn't automatically superior to a Liechtenstein jack stand). I'm looking for build and design quality.

Doesn't look like I have much of a choice with jack stand seats, either--entry level jacks have curved seats with lipped edges. I'd rather pick one closer to jackpoint's large surface area plates, but it doesn't have to be exclusive.
