All three are pretty good. The Lincoln and Ingersol Rand being the better of the three. Unless your greasing for a living any of the three would probably work fine.

I have a basic Lumax pistol grip gun with a rubber flexhose and an even more basic other brand gun with a steel hose and long lever. The pistol grip requires a fair bit of hand strength to get the grease into many fittings, and mind you I'm 6' and 240+ lbs, with a lot of hand strength. But it also allows two hand operation on virtually anything. The lever gun is much easier to operate but you would need three hands to work it with a rubber flex hose. Unfortunately a fixed steel hose means I can only get it onto about half the grease fittings on my tractor. I am happy with one of each, and the total for both was under $35. All basic grease guns seem to be practically the same in design and construction.

If I were greasing all the time I would get an electric or pneumatic gun, no question.
