 This seems like a good deal, but its an oil free compressor.  I've 
 always heard that its better to get the old kind cause they last longer, 
 but I dont know how informed this opinion is.  any thoughts?

Don't know about longevity but it seems to me that the oil-free types are a
lot louder than the belt driven kind.
