Default CO2 or MINI Pump

Well my mini pump has finally died, after about 7 years. Now I am looking for a new source of air. Most of my riding these days is some single track and a lot of paved trails pulling the baby around. What do you think, new frame pump or go for CO2? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend both. I ride a road bike and need to inflate my tires hard. I'm unable to do this with a mini pump.

However, I also cannot just use the CO2 canister. You need to inflate your tyres firts with the mini-pump and then use the Co2.

I know you get mini pumps that also caters for the Co2 to be inserted and used with the pump, but have never tried it.
