I guess it does depend upon your needs, so I'll just put my experiences/opinions out here. I have one from Sears, 5 hp, 20 gal, delivers 6.4 CFM at 90 psi. It is nothing fancy, single stage, oil-free. I think it is pretty much the minimum for my use. I use it for wheel changes all the time, suspension work like struts, bushings, etc, and I have a cut-off tool that is great for exhaust work. It does the job.

If I had to do it over again, I would buy a slightly larger one, the one that my father got. I think it's 6 hp, with a 30 gal tank. It's the one that they sell at Sears for just over $300 and comes with some free tools. It comes in either vertical or horizontal tank.

It just seems that with mine, it's running a lot, and I would like a little more capacity.
