What floor pumps do you guys use. I need a new floor pump so looking for recommendations. I want one that does both valve types. Over to you.

I had one with the automatic double head, can't remember what brand it was. If you take it apart it's quite neat how it works, but mine would never switch correctly 100% of the time, so I now have a Zefal one with a switchable head.
It was chosen basically because the first bike shop I went to only had one and that was €180 and did nothing fancy. So the next stop was Decathlon and the decathlon ones had the auto heads, the Zefal didn't. It also has a magnifying window for old farts
It's nothing special, but seems to blow air ....

If it is just a track pump you want, the Jo Blow track pump is excellent value for money. Tredz has them on offer at the moment.

I've had mine years now. But if you are tubeless and don't already have a tubeless inflator (I have an Airshot), then you might consider getting one that does both jobs at the same time. There are several types to choose from. Personally I prefer two simple separates, rather than one more complex product.

One with a battery. All the adapters you could want, charges on USB and will inflate a car tyre from flat (not a great big van tyre) and I can use it to charge my phone. A little bit bigger than a decent torch. Oh, and it has a light built in.
Lezyne Classic Overdrive. Sturdy and survives ‘out in the shed’. The little things are what makes this good. What makes it great is that I’ve never had the slightest problem blowing tubeless up onto the bead using a wide variety of MTB tyre and rim widths.
Cooooo ... that's pretty ... I think I need one .... NOW !

Last year I bought a Jobsworth Tubeless 2 Pump It Up Track Pump from Planet X.
It is very well-made, mostly from metal, and the gauge seems pretty accurate compared to my Halfords digital tyre gauge.
So far it has been used regularly for topping up my tyres, but I have not needed to use it for inflating a newly installed tubeless tyre, so cannot comment on its efficiency for that.
A bargain for £30.

I have had this about 3 years. Works as a normal pump and lift the tubeless tire onto the rim.

Cheers for reply’s guys, lots of good choice out there. 
@Barbara_Reed's idea makes sense ... E-bike, E-pump !
Makita and many others, like Ryobi, also make them if you have existing batteries. Not sure about the Ryobi, but on the Makita you can digitally set the pressure you want and it stops at that.
I generally use the manual version though. It moves more air quicker.

Specialized Air tool track pump, I’ve had it years.......faultless
It seals tubeless tyres no bother
Never tried one of these as the Lezyne works so well. Does it make a satisfying ‘pop’ onto the bead like a car tyre does at QuickFit or whatever ?
Yes it does, with some tires you have to take the valve soul away
