Gauge brands

So what are the good brands and what are the bad ones? I want to get a few but after looking around i've seen atleast 30 different brands all ranging from $20 to $200 for a guage. So whats your guys' experience with the different brands? Which are reliable and which are junk?

Yeah, lame. Get a real brand gauge. I honestly would rather go with the stock Mazda gauge than some glowing APC/OBX/no name brand gauge.
