Which pad is the best overall pick here?

For most people, the balanced pick is the PACOONE because it balances 10cm thickness, reasonable weight, 40D TPU fabric and a built-in pump. Backpackers may prefer the Naturehike or the lightweight 40D model.

Can a pad under 150 ILS work for the Israel Trail?

Yes, but not every model. For the Israel Trail, a light compact option like Naturehike or the ultralight 40D makes more sense. The 10cm models are more comfortable but less ideal if you carry every gram.

Is 5cm thick enough for comfortable sleep?

For back sleepers on reasonably clean ground, yes. For side sleepers, heavier users or rocky ground, 5cm can feel too thin. A 10cm pad is better there.

Is a built-in foot pump worth it?

For camping and convenience, yes. A foot pump saves mouth inflation and avoids blowing moisture into the pad. For lightweight backpacking, skipping it can save weight and packed size.
