Power tanks are nice, but big, bulky and kind of a PITA to keep filled and certs up to date.
Viar is good, but there are others I think as good or better for the money. ARB and Puma, to name two.
On the cheap, can't beat the various incarnations of the MV50, which is just a Chinese knock-off of a Viar 400P - I own both and the heads etc. are interchangeable. Fit and finish certainly superior on the Viair, of course.
If filling decent sized tires upwards of 50 psi, I think the higher duty cycle, higher CFM, higher quality ARB or Puma compressors are the way to go. Smaller tires, less than 50 psi, an MV50 will get you by just fine for cheap.
