Air pump. Is one better than the others?

His anyone looked into this to see if any air pump on the market stands out at being better than another one?

Nope, just buy a cheap one that's got a digital gauge and auto shutoff. Simples.

I've gone through three, and oddly enough, still prefer the oldest one which I got on sale for $10 6 years ago (I've listed below with the topmost the most recent)

mixed.... works well, but recently fried one doing 4 tires from 6psi to 40psi http://www.amazon.com/Campbell-Hausf...dp/B000642GAM/

avoid... Dead on arrival http://www.amazon.com/Slime-40022-12...dp/B002ZBWKAU/

Well I was going to say, an actual floor standing model with a separate compressor and air tank works the best, but may not be the most portable solution. That's all I use. If I am not home, I rely on RFTs and AAA.
