Many opinions on this. I've tried all inflation methods and prefer the frame pump over the mini pumps. I also carry one cartridge of CO2 just to be quick about it. IMHO the Silca really is the best. Nicest looking and only one I've had that does not rattle or make noise vibrating against the top tube. You can buy other frame mounted pumps that are more efficient ( Topeak Road Morph for example) but the Silca strike a nice balance of function and esthetic.

If you have the peg, use it! The pumps come in different lengths so just measure your frame and purchase.
