Default Triple gauge pod, Which gauges?

Im about to buy a triple gauge pod that comes with three gauges of my choice. Which three of these would best benefit me?

-boost vacuum gauge dont have a turbo, prolly never will.
- volt truck already has one on the dash
-oil pressure on the dash
-water temp on the dash
-tach already have

so these are left:

-air/fuel(narrow band)
-oil temp
-Vacuum gauge
-trans temp
-fuel pressure

I appreciate your help and time and if you have this set up i would love some pics

With what you mention
A/F, fuel pressure & trans temp probably your best choices

I posted pics in your AEM a/f thread
My trans temp gauge is in my column pod
3gauge pillar top down has
A/F (AEM dig/an)
Fuel pressure (AM Ultra Lite)
Vac/boost (AM Ultra Lite)

lets start with this, depends on what you want to monitor and hows your plenum?, then i'll end with this, oil temp = water temp, trans temp - doing alot of towing or playing in the mud? if the answer is yes then yes i'd get it, if no, then no, fuel pressure - ah no, your engine will let you know if you have low fuel pressure, vacuum gauge - i really don't see the need, can't really use it for troubleshooting as your engine will be sputtering if you have issues with your vacuum and finally air/fuel - ah no, if you were getting say 20 mpg i'd say go for it but your not, this is all just my 2 cents but its your money, spend it on something else that will get you some power like some 1.7rr, sct, and/or trans kit. everything is monitored already by your computer, it will know whats going on before you do.
