it really depends on how much you wanna pay for the different brands. fairly easy to install. all you gotta do is mount the gauges and then run wires to the sender units you have to fit in the various places

Speco are the best value for money. You won't pay out your arse, and you'll get a good looking, quality product. For water temp, you'll need a corresponding sensor (one should come with the kit, if not, buy it) and then if you're OCD like me, you'll need to get a secondary temp sensor mount so that you have somewhere to hook up your dashboard gauge, so it still works :) It would annoy me having a dead gauge on the dash.

For the oil pressure, you're best off running a t-piece into the oil pressure switch on top of the oil filter.
