I went with the digital gauges from Tbyrne. They really look cool compared to analog gauges. Even though I have heard they are not quite as accurate as digital ones, I’m looking down the road and not at the gauges at WOT.

Autometer Sport Comp II's. I have one gauge which is boost/vacuum and the other is fuel pressure. They look especially cool at night with a hyper white display.

SPA gauges are more than just a gauge. They are user programmable allowing you to set peak or low warning levels as well as recall peak or low values on a run. I agree with Clayton above that on a boosted run you have little time to notice gauge values & if you race on the 1320 you have NO time to read a gauge. SPA gauges make it possible to read values after a run which makes it easier & safer on the driver.
