I like the tie down straps with umbrella. 
At a couple of shops, I've put the pump and the motor up on the roof, and just the tank inside. Makes it pretty quiet, and it's still easy to drain the tank and get to most of the plumbing. Nice and quiet, all you hear is the tapping of the check valve, if that's mounted on the tank.
Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!
