Compressor Choice

I’m trying to decided between three compressors.

1. Quincy 5-HP 60-Gallon Two-Stage QT Pro Model: 2V41C60VC
http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Quincy-2V41C60VC-Air-Compressor/p855.html
CFM @ 90 PSI: 15.4

2. Ingersoll Rand 5-HP 60-Gallon Single-Stage Model: SS5L5
http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Ingersoll-Rand-SS5L5-Air-Compressor/p689.html
CFM @ 90 PSI: 18.1

3. Puma 6.5-HP 60-Gallon (Belt Drive) Single-Stage Model PK7060V
http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Puma-PK7060V-Air-Compressor/p11114.html
CFM @ 90 PSI: 19.5

I’ll be covering and painting a Just Highlander airplane and plan to buy a Devilbiss Finishline 4 HVLP gun for use. The Quincy probably has the edge on reliability/longevity, but the other two offer more CFM. Anyone have any recommendations?
