4500 60 min scba and use a Yong Heng to fill it. With good filtration and good oil (royal purple synthetic) its a great combo.

Shoebox to fill a Joe B "Guppy" tank for almost all my shooting. I have an out of date 66 cuft SCBA that I fill to about 3500 psi as a backup but it rarely gets used as the Guppy is so portable and easy to fill once a week or so with the Shoebox (just hook it up and walk away and it gets done).
I still have my old Hill MkII that I keep as a back up to the back up SCBA - I had intended to sell it once I got fully comfortable with just the Shoebox (which I now am), but the availability of the cheap Chinese pumps destroyed any value the Hill had so it sits in case it is ever needed . . .

When I first got into the pcp game I exclusively hand pumped for the first few years, finally tired of that and decided it was time to upgrade, went with a shoebox freedom 10 and a carbon fiber scba tank. Really was satisfied with my setup, but then along comes this little Chinese compressor called a "Yong Heng" that was quickly becoming the rave of the airgun community. Did my research and decided at the cost of it, it was worth the risk, so I then became a Yong Heng owner and really liked how much quicker it was than my shoebox. After about a year with the Yong Heng, though it was still performing nicely, I decided to take another step upwards in my tank filling quest, which led me to the Daystate lc110, which is what I use today pretty much exclusively. I can envision one more step in my compressor adventure and go on and buy a nice robust dive compressor, been eyeing the Alkin W31 Mariner Vertical compressor, like what I am seeing but just not enough owners out there just yet to get a good feel about it one way or the other.

I used handpumps only until very recently, including bottle-guns and a couple PCPs that have a max fill of 300 BAR. Tendonitis shifted my pumping to a max of 205 BAR (the maximum I can manage one-handed) so I bought a GX compressor off Amazon. I got mine right before Wes got his in, otherwise, I'd have bought from him.
The GX is a slick unit; I can fill off a car battery or from 120/240V
