I honestly prefer CO2 for group/club rides to save time, pump for solo rides when time not an issue.
There is another solution to the bend valve issue. Get at presta valve extender or a presta to Dunlop (Sometimes called Woods valve) adaptor, also a presta to schrader adaptor is useful if you come by a gas station.
