Favorite Bike Pump?

I like Topeak Joeblow floor pump. Easy to use and read the numbers. Don't know how accurate it is, but I'm not that concerned about a few PSIs.

can mount 95 percent of tubeless combo and is a damn fine pump other wise. also pump accuracy is irrelevant if you just base your PSI reading off the same pump whenever you ride. Beside MTBing is the only time a couple PSI may matter.
If your not running tubeless MTBing you are stuck 20 years ago.

I've played around with one of these in the bike shop, and they work well.
I've got a compressor in my garage, so just have the non-flash charger version of this pump, and it has been working well for several years.

yeah but you can put the charger in your car......I have a compressor in my garage as well.
I’ve been using a Silca Pista since the early 90’s. Parts are easy to get and they just last. Well worth the $$.
I also have a Blackburn track pump from the mid 90’s that’s still kicking. It’s starting to wear out, but it’s pumped up a lot of tires over the years. It still has residual Moab red dirt on it since it was our travel pump.

like why?
There is no objective reason beside initial set up to run tubes? Hell once its set up you can even change tire faster.

just been too busy riding this summer to give my bike to a shop for a week since i don't know how to set it up myself.

yeah maybe learn how to do it yourself.............IMO you should not have tubeless tires unless you know how it works and how you can fix it if something goes wrong.

does it work on both presta and schrader?
Yep, there's an adaptor. It screws on/off instead of having a lever for connecting, which is a slight bummer, but I'm a big fan of "dial a PSI". Also handy for car tires.

yeah screwing on off usually lets air when you let off....

Still running tubes here. Probably will until we buy new bikes. Unlikely to buy new bikes unless we go electric in our older age.
We have 2 floor pumps. 1 for each car. Different brands but don't ask me which. Both fit both kinds of valves. Both have gauges. Both work just fine.

I am guessing you like to complain about slippery roots and rocks are though right crank?
Probably complains, but doesn't care enough to drop dough on new gear...

you cna do tubeless tires on any rim for the cost of inner tube and some sealant AKA less than 20 dollars. I get not wanting tubeless rims....but you can have all the benefits for 2 inner tubes(which you make into rim strips) and some sealant.
