Go electrical. Much cleaner and easier to install, you don't have to run hoses to the gauges...cons, they're more expensive.

i run all mechanical...you dont have to worrry about sensor or anything else...its good stuff. personally i think its easier to run the nylon hose than it is to wire everything together.

i like both actually. the only time i wont use mechanical is if it involves oil or fuel. i dont want to leak any of that crap.
