Hi, I am looking to get 75 or 100 cubic foot carbon fiber tanks from AOA or PA. Any reason to get one over the other besides price? Which of those tanks come ready with fittings for dive shop fills? If neither, what other fittings or connections do I need for dive shop ready fills?
75 and 100 cubic tanks

Another more recent thread posted a couple weeks ago about SCBA tanks https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/looking-to-buy-and-air-tank/ Joe B’s products are mentioned here as well
Have you checkout any @joeb products? Look at his Great White tank setup. See what other members have to say about his products https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/joe-b-great-white-tank/

Airhog.com sells excellent tank/valve combinations that any dive shop can fill without an adapter. Airhog has been around longer than any carbon fiber tank seller and they don't B.S. about actual tank air capacity. Airguns of Arizona Omega tanks and valves are excellent values but 100 and 75cf air volume is marketing one-upmanship. All 6.8 liter and 9 liter tanks have the same interior displacement. The tank manufacturers such as Scott and Luxfor correctly list air capacity as 66 cubic feet and 87 cubic feet at 4500 psi. Don't assume one retailer that claims more capacity for the same sized tank makes their tank it a better value.

I just purchased a 72 CuFt tank from Joe Brancato....AirTanksForSale.com. It is what he calls the Tiger Shark tank. He sells very high quality tanks, lines, adapters, fittings, etc for whatever you need. Just another option for you to check out....

I've got both the Tiger Shark and Great White. And I use them both. It's an hour drive each way for me to get tanks filled so I use the big one till it needs recharge then use the small one until I can get to charge it. Can never have too much compressed air. It's like a stash of powder for bullets!

I see some tanks comes with option for a second gauge to read what's left in the tank. Do you guys find that helpful?

It's convenient but not essential. You can easily get the same reading by attaching a dead head plug to your quick disconnect and opening the valve and reading the tank pressure on its gauge.
