Default Performance upgrades

Ok guys I've tried searching for this but had no luck. I recently got a 99 ext. Cab. Auto cummins. Im looking at getting a set of gauges or a edge CTS or maybe a quadzilla adrenaline with pulse.
Here's my questions I have all the wires and lines for gauges and a small hypertech chip on the truck already. Should I buy a set of mechanical gauges or something like a cts? I want a fuel pressure, trans temp, boost, and purpose gauges so Id need a quad pod.
And if I go mechanical route what type of programmer chip should I get? I don't want anything extreme. Like maybe just a edge juice with attitude, or something along those lines. And id also like to upgrade the lift pump I was thinking Fass or airdog?
Thanks guys I know these topics have been beat to death but I couldn't find it

I personally just like the look of mechanical gauges. Maybe that's just me.

I would have to agree with Luke. Maybe even look into some trans upgrades like a triple disk TC and a shift kit. That edge comp all the way up will make that converter slip. Luke is a great guy and full of knowledge he will set you up.
