I have a Porter Cable air compressor package that came with three nailguns – a 16-gauge finisher, an 18-gauge brad, and an 18-gauge stapler. I love them – they have made so many projects much easier with their inclusion. My wife and I took the set over to my parents' place to assist in installing some quarter-round along the floors of two rooms. What should have taken a few days only took a handful of hours!
I've never had any of the guns not be able to do what I wanted it to do.
Here is a link to the one we got at ORANGE: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/.....ogId=10053
We paid $300 for it, but it looks like it dropped twenty bucks since then! If it helps, I'm not even really that upset about the price drop – we felt like it was a good deal even at $300.
I have 2 nail guns. The first is a Porter Cable 16 gauge finish nailer. It shoots nails from 1" to 2 1/2". Bought at lowes a few years ago.
The second is a cambell hausfeld 18 gauge brad nailer. it is great for attaching back panels. I got it at home depot for less than 40 bucks.

Gonna ressurect this old post. I've got 3, a 15 gauge Senco angled finish, and 18 gauge Porter Cable and a new 23 Porter Cable pinner. I prefer the angled as opposed to the straight guns because they are easier to get into odd angles, etc. that you sometimes run into when you are trying to nail inside a piece. Also, don't be shy about going to your local pawn shop to look for these. Nail guns aren't really very complicated, and if you can try before you buy (or be sure you can return if defective), you can get great deals on used tools. I paid 70 for my senco, which retailed new for about 250! I'm ok w/buying most power tools used from Craigslist or a pawn shop. I stay away from tools w/batteries though, as the battery is typically the most expensive part of the tool, and it's hard to know what shape the battery is in until you have it for a while.
