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
That is the perfect list. I would be inclined to add good warranty, or customer service.
The least expensive that has all the things you just mentioned, is the Joe Blow Sprint, and I going for that one.

info is still good and relevant, no expiration date.
You are right, there are a lot of results, I was not able to find any centralized resource for floor pumps. The information was good, but there are new models, and more opinions out there, I was just hoping to get some information on the largest range of floor pumps.
