If you use these much at all, I'd save up for four AL stands. Pins are unnecessary if the stand is designed correctly.
Do you have an example?
If you are buying similar to steel as in the OP, you may as well buy the HF [harborfreight.com] that are identical to most being sold. I have to believe aluminum teeth wear faster than steel and all should have a safety pin like the steel versions now do. All the rest of the aluminum types appear to use pins only.
Our strongest steel stands from Werner rely on pins only. Unless one is stupid enough to do some serious wrenching on a 4 post, even the trolleys on our drive on lift uses stands with jacks. Granted, aluminum stands are typically lighter weight and thus, easier for you to move around, cheaper to ship, etc., but wear faster and can suffer from stress over time. I.e. not as strong as comparable steel.
=============
At least they are US based and readily available for any liability issues, easy returns and exchange for new with any warranty issues that often makes buying the extended warranty worthwhile. Besides, I like their General tool boxes.
Something that everyone should be aware of, is that most all of these pair of stands are weight rated by the pair and why they are sold in pairs. 6,000 pounds total under the front of a full size pickup, especially with a diesel, is pushing the limits. For a safety factor of 2 to 1, buy the 6 ton version.
Otherwise and how I was taught, was to release the jack just enough so the stands take some of the weight and the jack still has some of the weight.

An F350 can get up to 8,133lbs, and probably more with luxury options. It'll still sit comfortably on a set of 3 ton stands. Maybe if you add a snowblade or similar equipment, you'll exceed 6000 up front. Then again, since such trucks often stand so high, you might end up wanting a taller stand or... a lift.
And those stands are 3 ton with a safety factor. They should be good for plenty more than that.

No, it is not regional, but happens everywhere. If you ever see a vehicle come off a four point that is cheaper to buy, you won't forget it when it comes time to purchase your own. Watching anyone tugging and pulling on a four point lift concerns me enough to stay out of the way.
But, 4 point lifts are fine for oil changes and most brake work if using an impact and almost mandatory for dropping differentials and lifting cabs off of Ford diesel pickups. Pros that only have 4 points are the same people that use jack stands for prying and pulling that could bring a vehicle right off the lift. Besides, you get to lay down on the job with a nice padded adjustable creeper.
You say there is a safety factor for these Chinese stands, but nobody has any testing proof to certify any of them beyond their rating that is for two of them with perfect welds that are far from the normality of hit and miss. And as in the past, there is no guarantee of even that, with no recourse when purchased online from an Asian seller that simply changes the brand.
Meanwhile, you encourage using 3 ton jack stands on a F350 diesel, that with 4wheel drive weighs over 6,000 lbs on the front end. The empty back end does not have much of the total weight. From my viewpoint, you have two viable choices... buy 6 ton jack stands, or more life insurance.
So, where is an example of those superior aluminum jack stands you mentioned that don't need a safety pin? Many would be interested in such a thing if they exist.

Pros aren't usually using jack stands. They're using lifts unless they're at the track.
