The nice thing about a narrow band is when you go WOT the lights are always in the same spot. If they are not then something is wrong. My cheap autometer narrow band saved my motor when my nitrous was going lean.
I would like a knock gauge.. That would be great for any sort of forced induction.

I'd suggest a tranny temp too but you have it in the dash cluster so that is one is a check. I have it too.
For 2 of them I would do a coolant temp and fuel pressure. Coolant temp guage could be switchable with a DPDT switch for oil temp and rear end temp later on too. My future plan.
For the 3rd , I myself have a vaccuum/boost, but if you don't plan on FI you could do an interceptior guage or a true widband.
Case 1:
If you don't do you own tuning and won't get any SW, I'd rock the interceptor. Chances are you rely on a shop to do the tuning on a dyno and they monitor WB A/F anyway.
Case 2:
If you do have or plan on tuning SW I spend the dough on an LC1 with XD1 WB setup so you can monitor your true A/F and pipe it into your tuning SW (thus no need for your interceptor). Truck is big enough to keep a laptop or in dash carputer can be created for monitoring and control.
In my car I have dual LC-1 guages in the heating vents, and it looks great. Get compliments all the time but it's cost some $$$. Also have a dual pod with a coolant temp in one pillar pod and a fuel guage planned for the next pillar pod. Might change to a triple pillar but don't know what to do for the third then.
Good luck.
