I, too, support having Jump Packs over Jetpacks. Generally, Jump Packs are generally a faster double jump. Jetpacks in games are slower and make the user a bobbing duck.
I feel like there needs to be something to better separate Jump Packs and Jetpacks, though.
Jump Packs could give the user a small thrust in any direction (depending on the user's direction and action) that would propel the user about one story. In addition, the Jump Pack could be a "speed boost". If the user is running forward and uses the Jump Pack, he/she is thrusted forward instead of up. If the user is moving backwards, he/she is propelled backwards instead. This would be interesting to see for quick escapes/mobility, etc.
Jetpacks could move slower (like extended hovering instead of a boost), but could travel two stories overtime instead of one story in a short period of time. This would be more of out-of-combat type mobility.
I think both should have a similar, longer-ish recharge time.

I don't think there's any need to make them suit-specific; just build in movement penalties depending on the suit using them.
Scouts are lightest, so they get 100% of the possible benefits.
Mediums are a bit heavier, so they'd get only 75% of the possible benefits.
Heavies are... heavy, so they'd only get 25% of the possible benefits.
This penalty could even get down to how much Armor plating is attached, etc. (meaning Shields would be favored when using them- not sure how people would feel about this).
