I've used the mechanical 'Sunpro' one, which I bought well over a year ago at my local Autozone for about $30. I did run a line through the wall and into the car but it's no big deal and I believe they are more accurate then the electric ones (I understand that the much more expensive electric ones are more accurate and are priced over a $100).

Any mech. oil pressure gauge should be fine though as they all work through actual oil pressure pushing the indicator needle. A brand name one though probably has a better quality build and stronger or longer lasting material. I've been planning to swap my Sunpro one out for a better brand name one but haven't gotten around to it.
