You want an electric sender, with mechanical you will have to run an oil line inside the cabin which isn't ideal. Defi BF advance gauges are very very good especially if you plan on running more than one.

I dont know whether its worth running a oil temp gauge aswell.

Iv have had a SBD nylon relief valve fitted and say on the instructions about making sure the oil pressure is between such an such degrees can't remember exactly but still have the instructions in the garage so thought have a oil pressure gauge fitted so i can keep an eye on it all the time.
