Default Which fuel pressure gauage?

I am going to a buy a fuel presssure gauge. There are two options to pick from. What is the difference between fuel pressure full sweep, and just fuel pressure?

the full sweep guage will show all hash mark and will actuall move while driveing. The short sweep pretty muh does exactly that. it only moves in very short sweep and unless something dramatic happens it probabl wont move. The full sweep is a little more expensive but worth it imo.

I got the Autometer Electric fuel pressure guage (full sweep).

Works great, just a little pricey and time consuming with the wiring. I'm sure you know this but if you install the guage inside the car, you have to run electric. Mechanical fuel pressure guages can only be installed outside the car.

Thats my wide band o2 from Techedge. When your first turn the key, it shows 12.c, then it displays your A/F ratio.
