Tire Pressure Gauges
I have one of those talking guages, the Accuu-Gage with a digital read out. Using it I filled my tires to 33psi. Another gauge I have, a Tru-Flate with a round dial has always shown higher readings than the Accu-Gage. The wheel sensors on the car read 35psi. Which is correct?

That's really hard to say unless you were to check both the digital and the analog gauges against a known "calibrated" gauge. Me, I prefer a good quality (US made) analog (dial type) gauge. Somewhere in the $15 to $20 range (minimum) is what I would use as a guide for a decent gauge.
My TPMs are usually about 1 pound variance between the tire gauge; not enough for me be concerned. To me the TPMs are mainly good for showing "trends", either up or down. I monitor them on a consistent basis and I'm be able to see if something doesn't look right and head off problems.
