i say go with the first one (on left), it may have leak problems, but they can be fixed. its got easy fire, and has an optional stock which can mean more distance.
the one on the right my have less leakage but with hard handling it may be uncomfortable, and of course without the optional stock it won't get much distance.
but the right gun looks much better. stick with the left one though.

for fun!
Why not have the pump on the bottom (like in the first picture) and a rubber tube connecting it to the Y pipe (second) ?
-The Y connection seems like it would give more power; less direction to change.
-Move the breach up if you can, it will help increase air pressure (less room for the air) but might make it harder to open
-leaks shouldn't be a problem if you use some kind of sealant on the PVC, biggest risk is on the rubber tube
The second design looks much cheaper and more durable (and overall looks cooler)

I made one, it was awsome, and easy. Makes a nice boom. Can shoot bout' a quarter of a mile.
Some day I will paint it, and name it "The Amish Bazooka"
