I'll be using an Arduino Shield and the CANBUS signals from my Link GTTLink to display realtime data on the dash for everything. My thoughts are that I can display all relevant information on the dash at one time, with the option to switch the smaller screens at the touch of a digital button and display ancillary systems on the fly.
The screens are industrial units with logic chips embedded to handle the display output, so they will handle the extreme temps of the interior without blacking out like a tablet or laptop will in the middle of summer.

This was just using an arduino nano, nothing special. Unfortunately it crapped out pretty quickly. Hopefully it is just a wiring issue but if not I may upgrade to the mega. Right now it is just showing speed but i'm about to start adding code to add in coolant and oil temp. I'll be running nismotronic soon and plan to have my boost, wideband, and oil pressure run off of that to tunerview, which I will have either on my phone or on a tablet during events or hard driving. I don't like the look of gauges, hate pillar pods, and don't want to get rid of my vents, so that seems like the most logical setup.
