One thing you'll learn is to turn the compressor off when you aren't using it. Having it kick on to refill the tank in the middle of the night isn't a fun experience, especially if the compressor is an oiless type (very annoying and loud).
I got my compressor from Costco, it's a large Coleman that has worked fine, but man, it's noisy! If I had to do over again, I'd get a used oil type, like rfuerst911sc said.
Like j.fro, once I got my cordless impact wrench, I basically never use the compressor for anything but pumping up tires. Not having to deal with the air hose is priceless.
