I wouldn't go with any of the ones on your list. I would buy a Lezyne. The Lezyne has the gauge on the bottom but reading it isn't bad, plus it makes the pump much more stable.

I have had a Topeak Joe Blow Pro for five years. I got about a year out of it before I need to replace the oring in the piston, a few months later I replaced the smart head, then the gauge and now the orings need replacing again. I think it is a good pump but it is a disposable pump as are the other pumps on your list.

If you look at a Lezyne, they are built like 65 Mercedes. Everything is built heavier than it needs to be. I expect that this will be the last pump I will ever need to buy. The only other pump that has that kind of reputation, that I am aware of, is the Silca. There are people that have had their Silca and used it every day for the past thirty years and I think the Lezyne pumps are built even better.
