If you look to the pros its almost always autometer. They are the industry standard. Mechanical is incomparably better than electrical, with the exception that they are more difficult to install. If you flip to a nascar race, not that they are any fun to watch, but if you watch one of the cockpit views, they are all autometer. obviously thre arent any boost gauges there, but it speaks a hell of a lot for the company. i have had no problem with any gauge i have ever owned from them. Furthermore, on the topic of a/f guages, they are bull**** approximations. they use a bunch of technical mathematics to give you a rough approximation on how rich or how lean your car is running. if you want an accurate portrayal, get yourself an egt gauge and learn how to understand the significance of exhaust temp. i guarantee that you wont see a/f gauges in any serious race car, always egt. also, as far as looks go, i agree that autometer is by far the most plain of the bunch. but also the most readable. i had a few phantom gauges in my last car and got red bulbs for them and absolutely loved their simple, easy to read look. in my opinion autometer is the way to go unless you are going for a show car.
