F* mini pumps. My pumps are as big as the frame will allow them to be. I'm a fan of Zefal pumps.
My repair kit also has a few valve guts and the tool for it. One more thing you should carry, a piece of canvas. If you slash your sidewall you would not be able to repair or replace the tube because it would pop at the gash unless you wrap it in said canvas.

If you boot a tread hole using the Park boot, don't expect it to last more than 10 miles on rough terrain. Use a piece of old tire and duct tape it to the inside. Trust me, I learned that lesson very well but only once.
I have a couple Lezyne pumps, they have never let me down. You just have to learn to use them properly.

I bought this Tiakia pump the other day and I'm extremely impressed with it.
Amazon.com : Tiakia Mini Bike Pump,Portable Compact Bicycle Pump,High Pressure Frame Pump 260PSI- Air Hand Pump Fit Presta, Schrader & Woods Valves,Aluminum Alloy Durable Tire Pump for Road/Mountain/BMX Bikes : Sports & Outdoors
Has a dual sliding cylinder so it expands to 3 times it's length. Haven't tested the "260 psi" rating but filled a tire on a scooter in seemingly a dozen strokes. Quite well made.
As an aside, I don't understand why you need a high volume pump to find a leak in a tube? What am I missing?

I was surprised at the apparent build quality and ease of use.
