Ditto. I have a 12 ton bottle jack, jack stands and a portable trolly jack. But when I had a blowout on the expressway I put two 4x6 Pressure Treated boards I use for leveling under the good wheel and pulled it up and had plenty of room to make the change (loosen the lugs on the bad wheel before you get it in the air).
Whatever you decide to to, you should practice (jack or boards) in a nice safe parking lot and get the feel of changing a tire. Better to get the feel of it without the pressure of an emergency.
