Looking to get into air inflation and I'm divided over getting either a bulb pump or an aquarium pump.

I've been inflating with water for years and have managed to get pretty big, but I think it's time I dip my toes in air inflation. I've been getting mixed opinions on what to buy though.

Noise is my biggest peeve and I've heard that most aquarium pumps are literally silent but that they're not necessarily great for beginners, whereas bulb pumps, while louder, offer much better control. I'm entirely open to both and may even end up buying both, but was wondering what the general consensus is first.

As I mentioned above, I'm not necessarily a newbie, only when it comes to air. I've been inflating myself with water for years but lately not a whole lot unfortunately.

Also would anyone be able to recommend any specific models or products? I'm struggling to pick a particular brand.
