You defintely want an oil pressure gauge (mech). I also recommed a Volt meter. Since that is the 2 gauges that our cars do not provide but should have.

I would go for the Electrical Oil Pressure Guage... it'll be much easier to install and saves the trouble of running oil to extra places. I wrote a DIY on it a few months ago... if it survived the move, its in Tech Stuff. I've also got an A/F gauge in my car... probably does nothing useful, for me but it looks neat, oh well.
Mechanical senders require you to route a line to the sender, the electrical ones work by running wires between the gauge and a remote sender somewhere.
