Well I would have a decent one up especially if you're going to have yourself underneath a heavy object like a car for an extended period of time. A small car jack (example: like that ones that come with your car) are there for like changing tires which takes minutes. It's up to you but I don't think I'd trust a small cheap jack with my personal safety.

+1 Or as posted previously if you don't feel like buying a jack just get jack stands. I wouldn't do anything underneat a car without jack stands. I'm reasonably strong, but I can't bench press a car and I'm sure you can't either.
