Your biggest decision will be size IMO. Yes electric impacts pack a punch and are efficient now BUT they're f'ing huge. Good for wheels and working on large trucks thats about it.

Plus factor in that you can get right angle drills, cutoff wheels, die grinders, spray guns, etc etc for much cheaper than electric counter parts. Then factor in how much more a variable speed version of electric tools are for like die grinders and grinders and theres really no competition.

The only tools I really think that electric trumps air is a drill for a big ass hole through metal, and angle grinders.
