You can use either.
Mechanical requires an actual vaccum pipe to be routed into the car, to read boost, and can hinder mounting positions.
Electrical has a boost sender that can stay in the engine bay, with just one wire running from that to the boost gauge, making installtion much easier.
Expect to pay more of a premiuim for electrical.
