Boost gauge

I'm in thr pocess of buying a boost gauge for my turbo project but i'm wondering if i should buy a gauge in PSI or in BAR... i know i'll be boosting at 7~8 psi because my turbo wastegate is set at this level ( its a rhb5 from a mazda mx-6)
What you guys recommend?

I like the psi gauges myself. Bar you have to do some math to figure out exectly what you're running. 1 Bar=14.7psi

What's it take, one calculation to figure out what you should be reading?

I personally like the look of the BAR ones.
