I'm with 62406,,,,,5 horse, 30 gallon upright. 3/8th and 1/2 drive air ratchets work fine for even big auto jobs. Plenty volume\cfm. And the price, about 400 to 500 is good. Sanders and other "high volume" tools won't cut it with this size how ever. You will run out of air and have to "wait" for the compressor to catch up. Check out the cfm for your biggest air tool, decide how much "time" you will be running it and match the compressor\tank size to that tool.
I do very little sanding! I like my 3/4 horse carry around (oiless) for track use, I even change tires with it (1/2 impact gun). But I do have to "wait" if I use it to much. Oiless is NOT for extended use!
220 volt is THE way to go! Much more energy efficient and put you in a decent cfm size. Beside the 110 volt models are around 3 horse or smaller.
