I guess it depends on how many punctures you think you'll get. A compressor might be useful if you are going somewhere where you expect a lot. Otherwise a bicycle pump is fine, after all, you might only ever use it once or twice or even not at all. Blackburn make good quality pumps that can be taken apart to be cleaned and serviced. I have a simple single stroke pump permanently attached to my bike. I simply use the bracket it came with bolted to my rear mudgaurd just above the numberplate. I think it cost about a tenner.
