I have a couple of hand pump Solos, have had them for years, and am 
pleased with them. I haven't used an electric pump model, however, or 
all the other brands; so can't give you any advice on comparisons.

Whatever you get, I recommend getting a hip belt for it. (This might be 
extra for the current Solo models, I'm not sure; but they do make one.) 
They're much more comfortable to wear that way.
