mechanical or elect. gauges?

Thinking about putting in an oil pressure gauge (noticed all the early Saabs just have "idiot lights"). I favor mechanical gauges myself for water temp and oil pressure, etc. for their fast accurate readings), but have been told recently by a parts dealer that these setups can have problems, ie., air bubble in line can cause false reading, and (oil guage) lines breaking causing oil to leak all over. I haven't had this problem yet in other cars with mechanical gauges, but I guess there's the potential. Electrical guages can have their problems too, ie., shorts, bad grounds, bad sending units, etc. Apparently, VDO (I want to match the brand of the other gauges) makes both kinds as an aftermarket item.
The question is: What have others installed in their Sonetts, and their experiences pro and con?
Thanks.
Alan
