1st, thanks for your service. Now u can let your hair grow long (if u still have any)!
Not mentioned - environmental consideration - opposing doors should be placed to maximize natural air flow. Nothing worse than stagnant shop air. With multiple entries, how many maneuvers it will take to get on lift? ‘K’ turns with a large vehicle can be challenging in a confined space. Not to mention floor space that must be cleared.
Small wheel base equipment, mower, SxS, ATV, tractor etc. Major lift manufacturers already have fixtures that attach to arms of 2 post lifts.
I lean towards 2 post, placed near least used overhead door. Make it a drive thru. Unless the shop is dedicated to production and only vehicle repair/maintenance, I assume you’ll be doing other none lift required work in the space.
And my last thought, think about what the overhang will be used for. If storage of equipment/vehicles you may want at least a double door for access.
Good luck and may u have many yrs of enjoyment hiding in your man cavern.
