A few years ago I replaced my old noisy compressor pump with the $135 3HP Harbor Freight pump. Same tanks (I have a 20 or 30 gal from old compressor and a guy in the local club gave me his old 35 or 40 gal tank) and motor. You can actually carry on a conversation now without shouting when it runs - and it has more air volume.
Avoid oilless like the plague. I had one. The bearing gets hot and starts working its way out of the frame 'cuze it heats the aluminum frame that holds it in place.
If you go with just replacing the pump, buy oil. They don't all come with oil in 'em.
