building a new garage, include a pit?

I am planning to have a garage built for me. I am considering having a pit built in so I can work under the car. I saw one at Jiffy Lube years ago but haven't been there in over a decade. I am always scared of working under jackstands and have vowed to stop now so that I won't be crushed. Ouch!
How can you protect the pit from water? Or do you just make sure water doesn't drain in there and mop up the little water that drips from your car.
Do you think the pit is practical? I was thinking of putting a grill so kids won't fall in.
The alternative would be to build a high 18" curb next to the garage. There would be two curbs so you just drive up over it. The middle section would be low, about 26" of space to crawl under.
