Default Mechanical or Electronic?

For my gauge set up I am going to run, boost, egt, fuel pressure and oil pressure and my question, for each one, should I get mechanical or electronic? Thanks,

mechanical are said to be more accurate. but the advantage to electrical is not having to run fluids in the engine bay and they are a little easier to install. You can run mechanical for boost and then do electrical for the fuel pressure and oil pressure. just my .02..some have no fear of running mechanical gauges for fuel and oil.

I think that is what I might do, mech. boost and then egt, fuel and oil pressure electric? I'm leaning towards the greddy gauges unless someone can steer me in another direction.

I'm pretty sure it's not track-legal to run mechanical oil and fuel pressure gauges into the cabin, and what you have to do is run a separator circuit that uses another liquid media to transmit the pressure through the lines. Something to think about

Myself, I only use electrical.
