Another vote for a Topeak "morph" pump. They make a Road Morph, a Mini Morph, and one other Morph that is more MTB oriented. I have a Mini Morph, and have used it for 11 years. Only recently have I moved it to my hybrid / commuter bike, off of my road bike because the Lezyne road pump just looks nicer. But really function ought to win over fashion, and even moreso when touring. The Mini Morph or one of its siblings is great.

Nice features: The pump is designed to be used like a mini floor pump. The hose comes out the side of the pump, and connects to either presta or schraeder valves. There's a little foot-brace that swings out. It takes about 250 pumps to bring a set of 28mm tires up to 100 PSI, which is probably higher than they need to be. But any mini pump is going to take 200 to 300 pumps to get the tire up to normal pressure. What is better about this pump is that you're pushing against the ground. Much easier to operate.
