If you can afford it, I'd tend to get whichever one most closely matches the dials in the car.

Alternatively, get the one you like the look of most.

15psi is only 1 bar, and if you have any mods done, your car will almost certainly make more than that. My Defi one goes up to 2 bar, although max boost is around 1.4 bar.

I only looked at Defi's. Anything else just looked poor in comparison to me.
And besides that, i am a gadget freak anyway so the Defi suits me down to the ground

I have the subaru oem column mounted boost gauge and it goes up to 1.5 bar if that helps.

Don't know if it'll fit with your new one, but on my MY98 WRX I've got a corner pod with an Autometer phantom in it. I've had Autometer in my other cars and they've always been accurate and good value, never let me down. Reads 30inHG vacuum up to 30psi boost (can be had in metric), white face, red pointer and subtle green illumination just like my JDM dials. Alternatively if you want something fancier, I believe the Japanese STi Genome gauges are what you want, made by Defi. I'm sure there was a set on ebay at the moment.
