A suggestion if your shop is attached to the house (mine is attached) :
My wife used to complain about me leaving the compressor on through the night, and it would cycle on, waking her up. It really never bothered me, I can snore through anything.
Then I had my compressor circuit wired through a relay from an overhead light circuit. When I turn the lights off, the compressor cannot cycle on.
It has worked flawlessly, and wife is much happier now.
As for a compressor recommendation, stay away from the
oil less, and get as big a unit as you can fit or afford.
I have a 80 gal IR, it is going on 15 years with no issues.
