I use electric and wish they were mechanical. Because of the fact that electric still have to get the information from the sending unit so BASICALLY you're paying for mechanical.

well.. good luck getting a mechanical a/f gauge :P

also.. for oil pressure, fuel pressure you will want elec unless you like the idea of running fuel and oil into your drivers cabin...
