Depends very much on what use you have for it. You can spend over a thou' for a really good electric one!

Petrol are great if you can't guarantee safe power supply where you want to work, or if you need substantial blasting power. For most purposes though, a decent electric will do the job fine.

If you go for a cheaper petrol one, it's probably more important to go for the best pump you can afford, rather than worrying too much about the motor, as the major brand Chinese donks seem pretty reliable now.
