Default Autometer Gauges, Any Good?

Thinking of getting some autometer gauges for my cosworth, going for the usual oil pressure, water temp, boost and oil temp.

Just wondering if people have used them before and are they any good?
Would you recommend the electric type or are the mechanical gauges better?

I have had them, and a few mates have had them, one of the best out there in my opinion, go for electrical as routing oil pipes etc to the back of the dash is a pain in the arse, you don't need that Nth degree of accuracy that you gain with mechanical.
