I have the park PFP-3 and I like it. It's my third floor pump and the best of the lot. My lil Brother has a specialized that has the smart valve chuck. It works very well. I also own a silca. Nice pump, but I hated the valve chuck and replaced it with another model. The silca is the one I keep in the back of my van, so it takes a lot of abuse.

My recommendations of what to look for in a pump..

1. A LARGE or high mounted gauge that can be easily read.
2. Are rebuild kits available?
3. A solid base/ foot pad/or peg
4. A large comfy T-Handle
5. A long hose
6. A duel or "smart" valve chuck (why mess with adapters these days)

Good luck
