Air consumption by the air tools, as well as length of line are probably the determining factor, not tank size. I would say 3/4" is more than enough for a shop, unless 2-3 guys are using DA sanders at the same time! Keep in mind that your air hose is only 1/2" or maybe 3/4" right?
I have a 1/2" Rapid Air kit, which they say is good for a 100 ft run. Best price I found on the kit was at Northern Tool, but Amazon had better prices for accessories.
