Check out the compressor calculator. It'll give you good estimates on fill times.

With that large of a tank I would run at least a 480 dual pack. Its a nice compressor, you won't be disappointed.

Have you considered an EDC? for a 12 gallon tank you might give it some thought...

I run 400C's on my 9 gallon tank and they fill pretty fast, but they are limited in max PSI (rated at 145psi, but I have a 175 pressure switch.... )

I am putting 380C's on my truck (actually, they are already installed) and they are rated at 200PSI with 100% duty cycle. I realize you don't *want* them running all the time, but if you go with electric, and a 12 gallon tank, they will fill a little slower anyways.

You can get a York EDC installed for a few hundred bucks.
