What gauges are you using?

I'm picking up some new gauges this afternoon or tomorrow for the FB, and was wondering what you guys are using for Oil press, Volts, Water Temp, Air Fuel. I need something that works well but wont break the bank. Thanks, also any pics would be greatly appreciated.

Defi has a line of cheap/nice gauges. I'm using one of their boost and egt gauges.

Autometer Sportcomp. Good enough for the pros, affordable enough for me.

Autometer phantoms... full set speedo and tach(indash mount), but now I need a boost gauge.

Doing it again I think I'd use VDO... something about the Germans, they seem to get it right in the style of their line ups.

Defi D-gauge. They have a pointer on the bezel that can be set to the danger zone. I have a mechanical boost and electrical fuel pressure mounted in a dual A-pillar pod.
