Depends on what you want to spend. I use the ARB high out put for lockers and airing up. There are cheaper ways. I also have a Co2 bottel as a back up.

I'm looking at a Viair Heavy Duty system for mine. Decent price and a full setup with tank.

This is the medium duty system

The Warn Powerplant HP I have on my JK now is rated at 5 cfm @ 90 psi and works great.

^^ this plus duty cycle is important. i'm running the arb cKmta12 At 6.16cfm 100% duty cycle
