If comparing two units consider the one with the higher CFM rating. Then if there are some that are similar, consider the one that runs the compressor at the lowest RPM (lower RPM, less wear).

If you are still considering multiple models get the one with cast iron cylinders as opposed to iron lined cylinder inserts.
