I would go with IR brand also.
Check out paint supply stores or paint gun manufacturers, they have regulators, seperators and all the cool toys for that. Buy a auto condensation drain also, worth its weight in gold.
Get all your accessories for as big of a line as you can. It makes the tools work easier. Esp if you have a 1/2 Snap On impact gun. Those like volume. I have a matco now and it works great on a lot less volume of air but I still have big lines.

I may put a t in line, so I'll have the reg on one out put and a full power port. I use 1/4 NPT Fittings, but the threads off of the compressor ball valve is 3/4 Thread I think.
