I've been using a Topeak Joeblow for more than 10 years now. I don't exactly remember when I bought it, but I've thrown it around quite hard and it still works great today.
That said, it's not possible to have a forever-pump because all pumps have seals. These seals will slowly degrade over time. What you should look for is a company that sells spare parts and rebuild kits. Ideally a company that has been around for a long time so you can have a decent expectation that they'll still be around when you need a rebuild kit (new-old-stock doesn't work great for rubber/leather goods). Bonus points if the rebuild kit looks like parts that you could make or find from a local hardware store; just in case the company does fold.
