Assuming this is a question about what to bring on a ride, and not at home, I think a lot depends on what tire/pressure you're riding. A minipump kinda sux if you have to get to 80-90+ psi, so then you're considering a larger frame pump.
FWIW, I have both. CO2 (2x), plus a little mini-pump which would be my last recourse and I'd be resigned to probably finishing my ride about 20 or so PSI below what I'd want to be using.
i so have a mini pump and i do need to go to 80-90. i cannot pump it completely in one go, i need about a 3-5 minute rest to get reasonably close and no gauge to know for sure but also don't really care, just want to get back in the saddle as soon as possible.
