Anyone have any recommendations for these? I'd rather not buy one that says Jackson racing on it. Advanced auto parts gets pretty good pricing on autometer gages just want to make sure I get the right kind.
Should they be Electrical or mechanical, or does it matter?
Thanks for the help!

I have the mechanical Autometer vac/boost gauge in the 05 ($45). I have the electronic version ($200) in the 99. Both serve the purpose. Electronic version remembers peak so I don't have to watch so close. :)

I have the AEM Wideband in both cars (~$250 on EBAY). Wideband (AEM or LC-1) is the best way to go. If money is a factor, a narrow band A/F is second best.

I installed boost, AFR, and oil temp gauges, all from Autometer. I like having all three from the same series as they look good together. I opted for the electronic. As Tom said, I get peak boost at the touch of a button. They also calibrate themselves at power on. I got a 3 gauge panel from Track Dog and installed them right below my radio in the center console.
