I have a harbor freight wheel chock I have never used it bought it for a V max I had a awhile back what I need to know are they any good or should I go a different way. The condor chocks are expensive.
 
I have 3 of these that I picked up in Va., when I was moving, and used them on the pallets I made, when I shipped my bikes up to Ohio on a rental truck... basically only used them one time, but they worked flawlessly, awesome product.. I don't /didn't install one on my lift tho, it really makes for difficult bike isolation, and you can't get the bike on the centerstand, while using it... but bolted to a big square of plywood, on the floor, it's awesome again, for quick use...

I alo have a single "bent tubular" small chock, which was used also on a pallet, for the smallest bike (little Suzi 300) I moved...
all in all, the 4 bikes I moved in the truck box, never even moved an inch..
 
I have two of the larger ones installed in my trailer.  They are rock solid.  I would recommend, just make sure it is attached to something or it will be very hard to get the bike out.
 
There are a number of affordable, functional wheel chocks.
A good friend recommended there, we bought two, and they work GREAT. I have only used them in the trailer. You drive the bike into them, and they hold the bike up very solidly. Makes tying the bikes down easy.
I plant to, but have not yet, made provisions for using them in the garage. I tried using one without bolting it down, and it was very hard to get the bike out of it. I plan to drill holes in to the concrete floor, and epoxy threaded inserts to bolt them down when they are not in the trailer.

I think I got them for ~$70 each on sale.
Highly recommend them.
 
I use a Condor on my lift. I mounted it all the way forward so if if I want to use the centerstand instead I can pull the pin and remove the cradle easily.
  The only downside is the bike is so heavy I have to ride it into the cradle and its about all I can do to get it out .  Once in it holds the bike very well.
 
I can't comment on the HF chock but I use this one from Amazon.
