Badger or iwata would be your go-to brands. High quality, silent, and will last for years, as long as you dont abuse them.
something with a tank is preferable to something with out one.
Stay away from compressors meant for pneumatic tools; these will usually have 1/4 connectors, a high max PSI of 80-200 (you’ll only ever need 12-20psi) and will be incredibly loud!
Dont buy anything made out of plastic.
The “Master” brand is the cheap, generic, made in china compressor. Its OK. Its quiet. But it does get hot and you should give it moments to cool if youre going to use it more than 30 minutes at a time.
