Croustibat is an unknown quantity at this point
You cant monitor that many gauges AND drive at the same time. I already have 4 were you have them and it is hard to keep an eye on them (i also have a boost gauge in the left vent and an AFR gauge in front of the oem temp display).

The best place is where you already have them. The problem is the sun will cook them here, and if you dont put a sun visor you wont see anything. Also, if you dont have tinted rear window you will always have some reflexions there (guess how i know ? )

Forget the A pillar, that is just rice and useless. You cant "see" all 3 gauges at the same time as they are on different planes.

I'd suggest going with a centralizing unit and a couple of displays, like PLX or defi. What is important is alarms, not the actual display. If you can get gauges with programmable alarm and an output pin, you can connect some shift light on it. That is a very efficient solution.
