I have had both. Of the two, the pneumatic (topmost link and it says pneumatic on the site) is latest and best in my view. I had a mityvac pump action one for some time, but it eventually broke - I think I ran it over, D'oh! The HF unit was less $ and worked fine but eventually started spewing fluid. The pneumatic one has a replenishing bottle which is tricky on motorcycle, easy on a car. I had my son hold in place. It does not need much CFM or PSI, i think I just put about 50lbs in mine.
With the pump type, I'm sort of just happy to be done, with a firm lever and to have the fluid look clean. It takes a lot of fast pumping on a bike to get the fluid down that tube. But what's really nice with the pneumatic one is that every time I use it I'm sure I have completely replaced the fluid, and fast too, with less room for errors and spills.

I have the second one. It's always worked like a charm for me.
