Battery monitoring (Trimetric type vs Panel mount type)

Please help me in understanding the pros and cons and maybe more importantly the differences between these types of units. I can get panel mount volt meters that will also measure amp draw but base...

My ~$32 panel mount from ebay measures both amps in and out and amp-hours.
But I've got it set up to measure net total amps in and out. It all depends where and how you place the shunt. Works fine.

Does anyone know where this thread is? I can't find it and I'd like to do more reading about these monitors.

Thanks
