Opinions Wanted-Most useful gauges?

I'm not talking brands here, I'm looking for usefulness!!!

I'm in the process of my HSR/AFR/LPE build-up and I know that I'm gonna be tuning this thing afterward......

While everything is apart I've been thinking of adding an A-Pillar Triple Pod. I would like some opinions on which guages would be the most appropriate.....

I was thinking;
1) Air Fuel Ratio
2) Fuel Pressure
3) Vacuum
4) Tranny Temp (I like to drive enthusiastically..... and the Fuel Pres gauge could go under the hood)

Any others????

Put in your triple and fill the spaces as needed. No sense in buying a gauge that you won't be using.
I'm currently using fuel pressure and trans temp. My AFR is being taken care of by my wideband and scanning software.
Vacuum is only necessary while trouble shooting.

I have a wideband O2 and tranny temp on the A pillar.Fuel pressure gauge on the A/C delete motor housing so it is easily seen while adjusting the fuel pressure
