Who makes a decent oil pressure gauge?

I want one that's gonna last me the life of my vehicle and is going to be accurate. But I also don't want to spend $150 on just one gauge. I've heard autometer is not so great is this true?

Thanks.

It would also be nice if the gauge was to come with the sending unit. If that's possible.

Do I have to buy a sending unit seperately or does it come with the gauge on autometer? Is there any gauge that actually comes with everything you need to install it?

I have an Autometer Ultra-Lite, mechanical, run into the cabin. No problems. I suggest the 150 psi gauge. I had a 100 and it would peg out on startup when cold. The 150 now shows 125 psi on cold starts.
