RE: Oil Temp vs. Water Temp
Get an electric water temp gauge. Electrics are a lot easier to install than mechanicals. Also, you're going to be more familiar with the temp's you see from the water temp gauge as it will relate directly to your thermostat temp. It's a good idea to monitor that temp to quickly notice a bad thermostat. If you have room, add the oil pressure then oil temp gauges...and I'd get a tranny temp gauge before engine oil temp if you have an auto.

yeah I guess both would be the best route
would you go electrical or manual?
