Default storing my car

Ok.....So I bought my 97 GT this spring and even tho summer has just begun I have to put the car up for storage until next year because I have to leave for Training and then for school with no break inbetween. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for storing my car in my garage. I do live in the North so salt will be a problem come November. Do I want to get the whole car up off the ground? 4 Jack stands? 2 jack stands and 2 wheel ramps or do I not want the car to be on its wheels. This is the first car I have had to store and been worried about things getting on it. Thanks in advanced.

Raise it and use 4 jackstands. Keep the gas tank full with stabilizer in it. Put a vinyl or rubber mat underneath it.

It keeps moisture from coming up through the concrete.

What kinda jack stands do you guys recommend. The ones that I have been using are old and I need to get New ones. Also what kinda jack cuz I dont even have one I've been using a friends. I'm kinda looking for cheap but good for both but I guess cuz its safety related I could spend a little more than I want. Thanks again.
