I just installed the Northridge ARB kit and so far I like it. Little complicated to install due to the fact that the wiring harness is set up for air lockers. In the end I would do it again it seems like a well made compressor.

Powertank- two thumbs up
I thought about the advantages of a mounted system vs a power tank and went with the 10 lb Powertank package with the mount, tire guage and air hose. I've run a impact and blown up a few 37s with about 10 percent use of the capacity. It says it's supposed to seat tire beads by setting the pressure to max but I have not needed to yet. I was impressed with the quality and it's nice to be able to carry the tank to each tire or carry it in my truck also. I had it filled at a local paintball shop for 15 bucks.

I am not sure if the electric air compressors can put out enough juice to handle air tools. The power tank is very capable of doing that, but you have the refill cost. Another option is the Kilby OBA. It has a hefty initial cost but can handle any task. I can fill up a 37" tire from 10 to 30 psi in 1 min per tire and use an impact gun or ratchet. I believe ORO makes a belt driven kit as well.
