The oil lub. piston is the better of the two in long life & C.F.M.
It is very easy to install a oil seperator esp. when spraying.
most oilless compressor won’t keep up with a spray gun in continious usage.

I would definitely go for the oiled version. Do you know how to narrow down your CFM needs? Look at the tools you want to use, and they will guide you.

Best advice I've ever gotton on Taunton: Go to Northern Tool and look at the Ingersoll Rand oiled compressors. I have the upright 60 gallon model w/220 voltage...great compressor.
Good luck!

For longivity and volume, get the Oiled type.
