The pumps I've been buying all suck spectacularly in one way or another. Most of them are Schrader<->Presta convertibles that don't actually function as well as Presta pumps as they do as Schrader pumps.
Equip the pump of your choice with a Kuwahara Hirame pump head which is arguably the best you can buy - tenacious, adjustable, rebuildable.
It'll cost more than the pump but is entirely worthwhile.
The rare times it's necessary you can use a Shrader to Presta adapter opposite the usual configuration
