Default Gauge pod top mount or cluster mount?

Anyone running the replacement cluster dual gauge pod or a top-mount frog eye style pod? I was wondering which you felt was better due to visibility issues, preference, ease of install, etc. Looking to add an oil pressure and water temp gauge set and not sure which one puts the gauges in the most advantageous placement.

Not talking pillar mount, talking about the style that sit on top of the actual speedo hump on the dash or the style that replaces the black plastic trim in front of the actual speedo cluster. I thought about the blank panel where the radio used to be but that isn't in line of sight.

edit: Just got me thinking, top mount will still be too obvious that something is there which is why I hate pillar mounts. Thanks Rick!

if you have a small steering wheel the top mount dealy is hard to see.
the gauge cluster ones block the original temp and your fuel guage. but you are installing another temp gauge anyways. anyways cheers. im sure it will be clean either way
