Compressor questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm narrowing my choices for air compressors, and I have a few questions:

Viar has the 480 and 444 compressors, and the 444 is cheaper. I've heard good things about the 480s, are the 444s any good?

I have heard that Air Zenith compressors are super-fast, but have also heard that they can be unreliable. Are most compressor issues usually related to poor design by the manufacturer or because most guys don't put water traps in their systems and the compressor fails due to water in the system?

Right now, I'm leaning towards the 480 twin pack ($399). I've heard good stuff about them.
