Default gauges: mechanical or electric?

ok, i'm getting 3 gauges for my SC that i'm getting soon. already decided on an innovate wideband A/F gauge. but the question is the other 2 gauges will be fuel pressure and boost, so what is better electric or mechanical?

get a mechanical boost gauge and an electric fuel pressure. if you do mechanical fuel pressure you'll need it outside your car. mechanical boost gauge reads better in most people opinions

Mechanical are more responsive and easier to hook up as well!
