Floor pumps are inexpensive, work well for years, and are used once a week
to top up tires. Even filling a mtb tire from empty is no big deal unless
you're doing a bunch of bikes. I'd look for a pump with a gauge far up the
pump and a connector that does both Schrader and Presta without having to
fiddle with internal parts. Aside from that I don't see an issue.

There is an interesting pump from Topeak that is part floor pump part
frame/mini pump and can be had with a gauge. I already have a bunch of
mini
pumps none of which works well and a floor pump which does a great job so
I
haven't really looked at it.

In the first case you mentioned, my Serfas floor pump with the gauge up
high, metal tubing and lifetime guarantee, is excellent. In the second, you
are talking about the Topeak Road Morph--the only frame pump I would carry
on my bike. By turning it into something resembling a floor pump, you can
actually push downward against the pressure instead of along the direction
of the pressure. You just turn the handle into a T handle and set the pump
up like a floor pump. It even comes with an in-line gauge.
