Why not use the vacuum pump already on the engine? What ever you use, why not use the same source that feeds your brake booster, making sure the vacuum to the shut off valve is released after the engine stops. Electric is a good way to go also since you will not have to worry about rebuilding it, or catastophic engine damage from a failed pump.

AFAIK the vacuum generated by the engine's vacuum pump is about 20 in/mg. Vacuum is not measured in PSI in this application.
