I prefer mechanic gauges because if you have a problem with your electrical system then you can't really rely on you electrical gauges.
Did you ever see on older cars with external voltage regulators that go bad. Those factory electrical gauges go crazy. I don't know if that problem is fixed with these newer internal regulators or not but still.......how accurate can they be if you have a battery going low.
Another point, if an electrical gauge quits working for whatever reason then you have to mess with troubleshooting where the problem is such as shorts, grounds, bad connections etc.
