20 gallon is a pretty good sized compressor. Depending on what you're doing with it, perhaps it's overkill. Certainly smaller ones are a good bit more portable.
For use down the driveway, a long air hose might be more convenient. You'll presumably have to run an extension cord if you move the compressor down, so leaving the compressor up the driveway and running an air hose isn't that much different. Just another idea to consider.
I would look for a used higher-end compressor over a new lower-end one, particularly in the larger sizes. A well-built compressor, with a bit of care, can last nearly forever.
