Default Pillar mount gauges

so im thinking about getting some pillar mount gauges, im thinking getting 2 or 3, any recomendations on what type and brand to get, and how hard are they to install.

i was thinking a tach, oil temp, and maybe something else

all i really care about as far as color is that they are white blue or green lit preferably white or blue

i know that glow shift has a big selection of gauges. for temp gauges you get this thing that basically looks like an o2 sensor and you stick it in you oil pan or radiator hose or intake manifold. that's my understanding anyways.

you can actually get a scangauge 2 which plugs into your OBD port and you have like 25 different choices on gauges. not as cool looking as the other kind but takes about 1 second to install.

batman what types of guages are you using and do you have to do any major mods to get them to work? i wouldn't really mind if i had to drill into the oil pan just don't wanna do anything really extensive considering its my daily driver
