I don't think there is a problem these days with electric gauges. A mechanical water temp gauge is really a hassle. A mechanical oil pressure gauge isn't as bad but you're still bringing hot oil into the passenger compartment. I still have a mechanical vacuum gauge and oil pressure gauge in my car but next time I redo the console I'll switch everything over to electrical.

In the current console I have a tach in the center and then oil pressure, vacuum, water temp and AFR in the corners.
