I run it under load for 10-15 minutes and then 5 minutes w/o load to cool down.

Draining the tank, and letting it sit for months/years, I'd worry about seals drying out, rust in the cylinder, etc. At least if I run it once a month, I'm pretty sure it will start when I really need it.

Whatever you buy, make sure you can get parts for it. The $300 ones sold at Pep Boys are made in China and they don't carry parts.
