I am thinking of replacing my Hitachi air compressor(2 gal). I am looking at either a Porter-Cable 20 gal or current brand of the month at HD. Both are about the same size. We own a few P-C tools and find them to be quite dependable. We are running a three man crew. No more than three guns running at once. If anyone has used the air compressor I would be interested to hear any comments you might have about these or other models.

I recently bought the PC 6hp/20 gal compressor for my own personal use and I've found it does an excellent job for me. If I were buing a crew compressor I might invest in a two-stage, oil-lubricated model, though--I don't know if the oilless, single-stage would last in a production environment.
How are you guys managing moisture ....I have a PC Pankake and a Coleman on wheels and I am getting a lot of water in the tanks and in line? I do drain them...but need to find a way to stop it getting in lineWine is God's way of capturing the sun.
