Default Air compressor recommendations

Gramp's shop wrote:
I have occasional need for an air compressor and have been sharing a
small unit with Number One Son. I use it mostly for brad nailing, once
or twice a month. So I don't want to invest big bucks. I'm thinking
125 PSI will be all that I need. I've heard I should go oiless. Any
specific recommendations? Any thoughts about HF models?

TIA,

I once had a HF oilless compressor. Loud, but I kept in in a separate
room in my shop. Then a part failed. It was a non-standard part (the
capacitor, which had to fit in an unusual place). I ordered the part
from HF and it took over 3 months to get it as HF did not stock it and
it had to come from China.
When I got it up and running I sold it.
