for pump... topeak road morph G (G is for gauge ;-) its a great little pump (for a mini pump)... for floor pump, I've been using the same blackburn dual valve with a gauge for the last 15 years... I'd like to upgrade but it works well enough that I can't justify it... whatever you get make sure it is built for high pressure, some are super high volume for MTB but when you get above about 50/60psi they become increasingly difficult to pump

for tires... some good recommendations have been tossed out, just remember that the larger the tire the lower the pressure you can run which = comfort and on chip seal that tends to be nice... but you are in turn spinning up a bit of extra weight each time you stop and start again... I personally don't see me ever going smaller than 28's even with significant weight loss... right now I stick to 32's both because my bike happens to fit them and it doesn't require insane pressure (which is due to my clydness)
