Gauges Analog or Digital

2006 Duramax. I'm trying to decide on what kind of gauges to get. I have already had the Edge Insight CTS and liked it just fine. I'm wondering if I would be better off with some analog gauges instead. Edge CTS can monitor 20 something parameters from the OBDII and can serve as a back up camera. Analog gauges run independent of the trucks computer and seem to be more predictable (not a computer). What say you?

    Most all digital gauges displays a single number...

    analog gauges have a needle over laid on a face plate that a scale from Zero to max

    Viewing a digital number, you have to mentally do some calculations of where that
    number is in reference to the range...Zero to max

    Viewing the needle, you don't need to do any mental calculations...it is at
    whatever position on the scale...half way, 1/4 way, 3/4 way...etc...till it
    touches the 'red' zone

    I prefer analog gauges over digital
