Look for "Direct Acting" jacks in the BF or HWH brands. Both Class C's we've owned have HWH "Kick Down" jacks. These have to swing down to get into leveling position. That's been the worst feature (really the only bad feature) of those HWH systems. They'll often extend before reaching vertical. Also, since they have hinge pins to swing on, they aren't as steady as they would be without them and mounted solid to go straight down.
A little off topic, but our Front and Rear Hellwig heavy duty Sway Bars do more to keep the coach steady on the campsite than the jacks do. Of course the bars are no help in leveling.
