Default ECU monitor Vs Gauges

Hello everyone,
I am looking for some advice on the best engine monitoring solution.
Just thought I would open a debate on what the pro's and con's are of both solutions.

ECU Monitor, (LCD,GRAPHICAL,PSI3) What are your experiences/opinions

Gauges, (EGT,Pressure,Boost etc) What gauges are the most usefull, also what make's are worth the cash.

I am currently thinking of a turbo boost gauge on the pillar and an ECU monitor in the dash pod. (Classic)

Thanks

I like the look of those PSI3 ecu monitors, was wondering if they are good value at £245 +VAT

If you have read the PSI3 spec you probably already know they are more than just a monitor, 3 gauges and a link meter is no contest in my opinion. Also cheaper than a set of defis but on the down side they dont quite look the part like gauges.

I am not too fussy about the bling factor of gauges

There are 3 versions:
Graphical
LCD
VFD

I like the look of the graphical
Any opinions?
