I'd say the stock ones if you want a clean look that works just fine... IF you were going to build yourself a custom gauge cluster then I'd say go aftermarket.. or if you don't care what it really looks like you just want the usefulness of the gauges go aftermarket.. Then again you can probably pick up a stock gauge cluster from someone cheaper than aftermarket gauges would run ya anyways...

The capillary coolant temp and oil gauges with a line to them are better as they give true readings, but good ones can be spendy.

Auto Meter is a good name brand gauge.But if you don't have the bucks for the Auto Meter gauges they make a lower line called Auto Guage which is much more affordable.I hope this helps.
