I had a hand pump and didn't really like it, because it takes longer to pump and the needle inside broke. The only thing that I like about it was that it's light and can be easily carry by attaching it to the bike frame. Floor pump (if those are the one that is shape like a T) are too big. The foot pump works well for me.
