Foot pump and I have a £2.99 pressure gauge to push on to the fitting. Also have a lorry tyre extension tube (from tyre garage) if the foot pump won't fit properly.

I use one of those battery pack jump starter things with a compressor on and check it with a pen type pressure gauge. Bought the battery pack for about £25 from some poundstreacher type shop and the gauge from a car parts shop for about a fiver. Pumped up in under a minute.

I bought the Regin version, crappy little plastic valve lasted about a year....

The tyre pump in the back of my van does the job fine. I keep a stock of schrader valve stems too and replace if there is a problem
