I forgot to mention that on my setup my Ingersol Rand commercial compressor does not have a pressure regulator , my compressor just has a ball type shut off valve and a quick connect at the exit. So when I did my piping for the garage I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a combination regulator filter. It is a large cannister so you could consider it a commercial version. It has a pressure gauge on it and of course the regulator for adjusting the pressure. I have this mounted on the wall next to the compressor and a rubber line attaches compressor to regulator/filter. The cannister has a drain valve on the bottom so by having this mounted low in the system it should be effective in catching/draining moisture. I have ball valves at the bottom of each drop with a tee and the bottom of each tee has a fitting with a brass plug screwed into it. So I can open/close each individual drop to drain moisture. I just completed the install a few weeks ago but so far works perfect. I highly recommend at least one filter in the system to catch moisture. If you want to add a " oiler " to the system I use a small one that attaches to the tool . That way you only add oil to the tool and not any of the piping/hoses. You do NOT want oil in any of the lines if you are going to do sandblasting or painting.
