Question Which oil pressure gauge?

I have 1 of my 3-pillar pods left to fill. I thought something of oil pressure would be a good idea. I liked the Isspro EV2 on RiffRaff's site.

My question is that the EV2 offers 3 different oil pressure gauges:

Oil Pressure 0-100 psi $133.09

Drive Oil Pressure 0-400 psi $159.12

HPOP Pressure 0-4,000 psi $158.47

Which one would make most sense for a 2003 6.0L?
What is the Drive Oil Pressure?

Thanks!

I dont know if you already use a scanguage II or not but for the price of one oil pressure guage you can purchase that instead and can monitor your high pressure oil plus many other guages. I dont know of many that monitor the low pressure oil for as long as your making high pressure then the low is a given. I also dont know what other guages your running in your pod but I run boost, egt and fuel pressure. Boost for me wasnt really a necessity as my 05 has its own boost guage but the scanguage monitored everything but the fuel and egt's so I just threw in a boost just to be more accurate than factory. I bought the glowshift set with the pillar pod with everything for under $250 and have had no issues.

Thanks Mark,

I already have an Edge Insight and a Scangauge II (SG I usually leave in my cummins).
I also have EGT, fuel pressure and volts covered. Just looking for something for that last pod.

I'd get the 0-100. LPO is really the only thing you don't know. I've also thought of putting a volt meter there and monitoring the batt lead to my camper (don't know if you do the RV thing).
