Depends on what you are trying to do. You can use two jacks and lift one end of the car together, or you can even use a single jack and lift one side of the car as the chassis is quite stiff.
If you are doing this for purposes of lifting the car and working on the suspension, you'll find it best to lift one axle at a time. The sway bar will preload the suspension and make things difficult if one side is lifted and not the other.

Contrary to what you believe, the pinch weld areas are actual lift points for the car and can easily support the weight of the car.
