It's a matter of getting one that will flow enough air to feed whatever tool
you're using. I got one from HF, but was careful to pick the version with
1/2" fittings ... it seems to flow 4 cfm OK but bogs down at 6. The one
that came with the cheapo compressor would not.

Most air tools will run happily on more pressure than specified. The main
exception is things like paint guns, that really need a constant pressure to
work well.
