You can use a six gallon compressor with a framing nailer and it will work fine as long as you remember that after about 10 shots you may have to break and wait for the air to catch up.
But it should be fine for a do it yourselfer.

for a framing nailer you need a compressor that has 120psi operating pressure. I think the portar-cable would work fine, but im not sure about the stanley.

You need to find out how much pressure is required for the nails to properly seat with the nailer you are using. I have a cheap 3 gallon compressor that I use with a framing nailer. I have the pressure set at 90 pounds and it works fine. Framing nailers do not use much air per nail. If you operate it like a machine gun,you may need to wait occasionally for the compressor to refill.

When choicing a compressor one of the most important things to look at is its CFM rating. This is how fast the compressor can build pressure. When looking for a compressor a couple monthes ago i was looking for the same thing you are. Most manufactures recommended about 3. 5 CFM @90 psi to run a framing gun. Most cheaper pancake compressors are not rated this high.
The only compressor you listed gave this information on the website. the bostitch at 2. 8. For just a diyer this is fine. The only time you might notice the lack of power would be installing plywood sheating since you can drive alot of nails in a short period of time. Im not saying you cant do it you just will have to wait a couple seconds before each shot if the compressor does not shut off.
