I really like my Lezyne Road Drive pumps. These are mini-pumps with the old-school hose connection. I like them because they can pump up to 100 psi easily but they're also quick enough for my 700x30 tires. The design put very little stress on the tube stem and enables inflating the tire after the wheel is installed; this may be important for those who have fenders and horizontal dropouts. Finally, they come with a mount that can be installed with a bottle cage but they're small enough to go into smallish bags (not the smallest, like the small Acorn though).
