I know you are asking for a rec on the pump but get a dropper post! Especially if you wanna do down country stuff.

Lezyne but I’ve found strapping pumps to my MTB don’t last long, first crash broke the mount off.

As a heads up, if you don’t already… might want to add some helicopter tape on the frame under the pump mount. I had a pump mounted similarly on my hardtail and it scratched the paint off.

What are you packing a pump around for? If the tires are full of sealants, any thorn punctures or anything like that are going to self-seal. The other thing is, that water bottle is going to go flying out and you’re adding weight to the bike, if you get a good Camelbak you can keep a breakdown kit and your water and everything like that on your back, much more neutral balance. Keeps the bike as light as possible

If anything I’d remove that rear “fender”
It’s useless

No need for a pump just carry two c02 canisters. Way lighter, way smaller

I like a bag for my tube. Protects it over time.
