The australian 4x4Action Magazine did a test about 24 different brands and models. The test is available online from their page for us, for a free download. Also there drawing who explains how they work.
4wdaction Australia-Aircompressor Comparison
Also the german 4x4action did a own test at 2012. This comparison results in an empty purchased sales stand on the overland expo "Abenteuer Allrad" in Germany.
You can find the Testresult on several compressor manufacturer Websites:

At the end i think you should look
too about the size and weight of the device and not just about the brand.
During travel you mostly not in hurry and are able to let the device cool down
between the tires. A Duty Cycle of 100% is nice to have, if
you have the space and your Setup can handle the weight - but not necessary for
the most of us.
The right air pressure don't
helps just at sand or during wheeling when the traction is bad, it helps
too for a more comfortable ride above gravel or washboard tracks.
Normally you can also ride back
to civilization, also with lower pressure - but often are the use of a
tire repair kit easier than changing the tire... And then you need the
compressor.
Buy
a decent air compressor and not an all-in one wonder from wall-mart!
