There are many gauges you can buy. I bought 4 from https://www.glowshiftdirect.com/cart.aspx and am VERY HAPPY with their performance. I purchased the WHITE face with 7 colors....pretty cool cuz you can cycle through 7 colors by pushing a button....and they are inexpensive. Make sure and buy an ELECTRIC oil pressure gauge....not a mechanical.
I made a hose, 90*'d it off of my Billet oil filter cap and relocated the sending unit to the RH side of the engine compartment and used a 1 1/2 conduit clamp from Lowe's to secure it

I found it on ebay but alot of vendors sell them....remember, it dod not come with a hose or 90* fitting or anything...that I made or bought seperate. The sending unit is too tall to place ontop of the cap so I relocated it.

The install looked nice and clean, where did you get your hoses made. I like what you did there. I hate sloppy under the hood. I am about to do the coolant filter and am looking at where i will run things to have a neat clean and functioning install.

To me I think I would want to moniter HPO before LPO to see what my pump is putting out. Plus if you run into a no start situation it would be the HPOP you would want to know where it is. I know the stock gauge in the dash isn't very good, but at least it gives you some sort of indication if you are getting any LPO. On the other side there is no way to know if you are getting HPOP without a gauge or some kind of a scanner. JMHO

You can read data from the IPR sensor via most OBD2 gauges like ScanGauge, Dashdaq, etc. For low pressure oil pressure I believe there is a test port on the oil filter base cover where you could add a sender and hook up an analog gauge. I have not done this myself so not 100% sure about it.
