There are models that only require 4" concrete. But it should be in the specs/placing manual of a car lift.
For working on your car a 2 post is definately the best way to go (pillars are less in the way, an exhaust is easier to drop, more space around the suspension etc etc), but if storage or simple inspections (MOT type inspections) are the main focus, the 4 post is the way to go.
The lift in that youtube video seems like it would fit that guys useage, but do get the lift jack (preferably 2 jacks but they are probably expensive) otherwise its pretty useless if you want to do anything besides storage.
Make sure your lift is wide enough to park whatever you want under it.
