Digital or Analog

Well after reading many forum topics on guages. It seems to me most everyone prefer digital over analog.

My question is and I am on a budget of some sort. Do I really need a digital water temp guage? My take is probably not.... sense the temp doesn't fluctuate as fast as a turbo guage would.

So I am thinking of getting a digital Turbo guage which makes sense and an analog water temp guage.

Is there really any other guages I need for daily driving and some street use? That might be a broad question because I assume it depends on your modifications I have. But just looking for a general consensus on your opinion. Thanks

Sold it because I couldn't really drive it here, roads here were destroying it. Looking for another one though.
