Suggestions for a good vacuum system testing tool

Got any suggestions for a good vacuum-system testing pump/tool?

I've got a good vacuum gauge already.

Not sure at this point whether I have a leak or what, but the vacuum motors in my factory A/C system aren't working so good. :)

Harbor Freight sells both a cheapo brand, and the MightyVac brand. The name brand is a very decent quality vacuum pump, and both include adapters for single person brake bleeding.
