I am aware that some compressors are worse than others, but from what I am reading you get more vibration from opening and closing the door, and this is really only an issue if you are storing for long periods of time (more than a couple of years). I have yet to have a bottle last a year.
If you are going to drink the wine within a few months then just get something basic. Here is a good article on cellar temperature for you - http://www.snooth.com/wine-cellars/cellar-temperature/
