There are a lot of great epoxy kits on the market. Legacy had a couple of great ones, epoxy coat, Armorpoxy and of course I love ours. Its not a uestion of the 'best' epoxy or the 'best kit' its a question of finding the best soluion for your needs.
Other than parking your car, how do you use the garage?
What condition and how old is the floor?
Has it ever been treated/coated before?
What part of the country are you in?
What kind of prep do you want to do? Grinding, etching?
You will find two very good epoxy kits here http://www.garageflooringllc.com/epoxy-coating/ but what is best for you depends on your answers to the questions above.

* two garage floors are +20 years old concrete, 1. tractor and light garden equipment 2. truck and tools, has never been treated, Allentown, PA, probably the easiest prep, need to fill cracks in these two floors
* 2-1/2 garages are brand new concrete less than 1 year old, cars on both.
Also, do you fill the crack that is put in the concrete purposely for expansion?

OK so are you doing work in the garage or just storing the vehicles and tools there. Is this a regular thing (if you work on cars etc)... Jacks? Fluids?

While I have had an epoxy floor in my previous house, I don't plan on doing it at our new house. No offense to anyone who owns or sells flooring but do your homework before you jump on it, it may pose issues for you you wouldn't know about until you live with it through out the seasons of the year.
It sounds like Justin is right on track with his questions and I'm sure he can drill down farther if you would like him to do so. Best of luck with your decision!
