The Actron is the better of the 2 , it has the bleed off tube which will stop you from getting gas all over your engine.. .WW

I think you can keep those rent-a-tools for like 3 months at a time. You could easily just take it back and re-rent it if you need it for a couple of months to work out a problem.

I have been using the $19.95 Harbor Freight fuel pressure gauge kit for a number of years on my 95. enexpensive and handy to have in my tool kit. BTW currently listed in the Christmas sale for $17.99.
