I always carry my full frame pump on the road. I've never had to borrow anyone's CO2 inflator when my pump wouldn't work, but I have loaned my pump to people with inflator problems a few times. On the other hand, I carry an inflator and cartridges on the MTB. On the few occasions I've needed it, it worked fine.
One thing for sure, mini-pumps are more work than pushing a bike.
