I have a 25 year old Serfas floor pump that still works fine. I also have a cheap floor pump that's about 10 years old, at least.
When you decide what pressure works best for you, consistency is more important than outright accuracy. If your gauge reads 10 psi high and you always use that gauge, then it doesn't matter how true it is.
I have an electronic gauge that works really well. But I want a floor pump that gives very accurate measurements. I want to avoid the "pump, screw on the gauge, measure, pump some more, and deflate a bit" cycle. I just want a really accurate floor pump. I got one recommendation from mprince for the Silca Pista, so there's that.
