Best frame pump for Hybrid Road + Mountain Bike (considering will also carry CO2)

Need to buy a new frame pump after a friend somehow destroyed mine despite it looking quite burly.

Is there a pump that can handle road bikes (+100 PSI), hybrid road bikes (85-90 PSI) and mountain bikes (50-65 PSI) all very well? Or at least hybrid road bikes (85-90 PSI) and mountain bikes (to 65 PSI)?

I've seen road bike pumps that have very small diameter cylinders to reach higher pressures, but take forever to pump up a tire. And mountain bike pumps wouldn't be capable of the higher pressures of road bikes. It's been a while since I bought one, so maybe there's a do-it-all pump out there.

I also plan to carry a C02 inflator - given that, is this the Lezyne Pressure Drive CFH Mini-pump with CO2 a good bet? Or is it better to have a separate C02 inflator?

Is it worth getting one with an integrated pressure gauge, or just keep a separate gauge? If a separate gauge, which one to use?
