Vacuum Gauge

Vacuum Gauge
I'm planning on getting a vacuum gauge later on this week to help me in the tuning of my FB.
Question 1: Can I just buy a cheap $40 Autometer Auto Gage vacuum gauge? Will that last me a while? I've always heard negative things, but its not an electric gauge, its mechanical.
Question 2: Can I just hook it up directly to one of the plugged vacuum ports on my intake manifold? I plugged a lot of them when I removed the Rats Nest.

Well I have several 1/8th ports on the stock Nikki intake manifold. Four of them are currently capped off. Each one measures 1/8th of an inch, so I guess I have a very simple place to plug into now.
I was thinking of either AutoGage or Z-series (by Autometer), VDO, or Stewart Warner. I've never used any but they're all within the same price range. $40-50. Which I think is acceptable for a mechanical Vacuum gauge. Although I could get a cheap Summit Racing brand one for $15.
