Question Recommendation for Gauges

I am looking at getting a pillar mount with an EGT, Eng Temp and Tranny Temp gauges. I am just wondering what everyone else is using and what seems to work the best. Also, she's an 05 F350 6.0 with med stone interior. Does anyone make a pillar in that color? All I have seen is black. Thanks in advance for your sugestions.

engine temp. and trans. temp. can be run through a rotary switch and through the transmission temp. gauge (instructions are on here somewhere) Personally, i have a trans. temp egt and mechanical fuel pressure gauge - all isspro gauges from dieselmanor. since the stock boost gauge is accurate even if it is small. the fuel pressure gauge can tell me if i need to change my filters because of bad fuel or some other contaminant that is blocking them. the pillar mount needs to be painted to match your stock interior.
