I would get the high pressure version. Takes more pump strokes but is easier to push. The handle you are pushing on is pretty small and pushing really hard can hurt a bit. For that reason, I even prefer the high pressure version for my 26X2.0 tires. The Toppeak Road Morph handle is bigger than the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive, thus if you were looking at the Toppeak, that is less of an issue.

BTW, I also carry a CO2 cartridge in my seat bag and generally use that as the first choice when fixing flats. However, I also carry a pump in case I get more than one flat and run out of CO2, having learned that lesson the hard way.
This is a touring forum. Are you carrying a pannier? If so, put your pump in the pannier if you think it is that bad looking.
I kind of like the looks of either the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive or the Toppeak Road Morph on a bracket on the downtube. I have a Zefal bracket on the water bottle cage bolts that I use with either the Lezyne or Toppeak. Both the Lezyne and Toppeak have smaller diameters than the bracket so I put some pieces of inner tube rubber over the pump cylinder to make them fit better.
Or, use rule number 30, Silca pump.

I am joking on the Silca, I would expect the pump to fall off and possibly get in your spokes.
