The Lezyne Pressure Drive is nice.
I personally use the Topeak Road Morph mini, because with it you can put the end of the pump on the ground and use your bodyweight to do the pumping:

Topeak Mini Morph for me. It is the smallest of the bunch. A lot of people like to have a pressure gauge, but I can do without for the thankfully rare flat tire.

I prefer the Lezyne hand pump for both Shrader and presta valve. With the hose attachment I don't loose all my air disengaging the pump. I have come to find that the pressure gauges are really not needed. With the smaller pumps you can't really get a tire up to road pressure without hurting yourself, but you can get up enough pressure to make your ride.
Surprisingly the best pumps I have used have been the old Silka Frame type pumps...

I'm usually not a thread nazi, but there was a perfectly informative thread about this not long ago.
That being said, I've had:
A road morph that I stopped using because the second time I used it in years, some seal started leaking and the piston rod was crooked.
A lezyne mountain that works well.
And my favorite, the racerocket that I absolutely love.
Find the thread, good info.

Topeak Road Morph G is damn easy to use, but a bit bulky to carry
Topeak Road Drive is damn easy to carry, but a bit harder to use.
I use CO2 for flats 1-3 and then a road drive for any further mishaps (or for finding the flat in the first place.)

My piece of resistance. I like it a lot. When I sold my old bike last winter my pump went with it. I liked it so much I picked up another one to go on my new bike.
And that's not my picture and I have no idea why so many people mount them upside down.

Jersey pocket, you say? Topeak race rocket/hp, the silicone (?) grip on the handle really helps keep it in there. My lezyne doesn't have it, fwiw

It's the smallest I could find that still actually works. I can pump a tire up to 7 bar without much effort, 8 with a little more effort.

Lezyne. Every one of my personal bikes is equipped with one. For skinny, high-pressure tires I like their Road Drive model.
