I had no problems with the kit stuff I got from Sherwin Williams at my last house. Proper prep work is vital. I wish the kits came with more flakes. The floors that look the best are completely covered in flakes.
Polyurea coatings have replaced epoxy coatings now. I believe the main benefit is they are less brittle than traditional epoxy.

The prep is the key. I wouldn't waste my time removing the old paint. Any reputable company will either grind or shot blast . Me personally I wouldn't let them acid wash the concrete . There are alot of great manufacturers of epoxy. Sherwin Williams has commercial stores that deal with the better epoxies.

I did my garage with the kit from Lowes.
FLOOR PREP, IS THE KEY. It's been 14years, and it still looks like new.
Wife parks in the garage, so gets used daily. I clean guns, fishing reels, stuff gets sprayed in the floor. Cleans right up.
It took about 3 days from start to finish.
Cleaning the concrete, no acid. washing it off and drying it. Fans going, then blew any dust or debris out.
Layed it down. Let it set. Then moved everything back in.
I had great luck with the big box stuff. But I've seen plenty that haven't and blamed the product. Usually do to the prep for bad results.
Moisture and time of year/day play a big part in the setting.
I only used about half the flakes. Color is a dessert tan.
