Wideband set up? Help a NOOB New to FI and I'm getting ready to buy my gauge set-up. I've done a few searches and really haven't found much outside from a few short threads. Id prefer to have a white face gauge with red backlighting to match the factory cluster and a pillar cluster. two questions:
Single or dual wideband set up? (i feel like dual would be better to see each bank)
What kit?

I think the aem 30-0334 is the easiest to connect if your using the stock or any gm computer. It plugs into the obd 2 connector. So you will need an obd 2 y cable from amozon or ebay. Easier to get it communicating with hp tuners. You can run 2 of them if you want and change the source name on 1 in the aem software. You would have to order the white face seperately. I dont k ow the part number for the face off the top of my head.
Personally i used one of these in my down pipe on my single turbo set up and then the two stock narrow bands pre turbo for bank tuning at idle.

I've read other posts about the auto meter i was going to run (Phantom) and there are more mixed reactions than the AEM ones. Im not a tuner at all I'd just like to have something visible in the driverseat that will give real time feedback on each bank in one gauge. Easy to hook up (obviously) complete. I understand i'll have to drill/weld the new sensors and all that jazz. just want to get the "right" kit off jump and not have to upgrade later down the line. eventually will replace the stock ls1 with something of large cubes built for boost. unless having two widebands isn't completely necessary then i can narrow my choices down much more easily. out of the two mentioned above i would pay the extra $10 for the x series more than likely. i can pay another $10 for the white face overlay as well for appearance purposes.

If you can monitor both banks, then yes of course it is a good thing to do so.
FAST make a dual unit, as do Innovate with their LM-2 ( If you'd trust their reliability ), PLX Devices can display multiple on a single display albeit with controllers for each sensor, likewise Zeitronix. Daytona Sensors also do a nice little dual unit.
Although quite often, 2 separate gauges will still be cheaper
