Hi,
My oil pressure gauge is still working. It's factory stock and 31 years old and it hasn't failed yet.
It's in a combination gauge with the Ampmeter. I give it a scan every minute or so. Always watch both gauges when starting - to make sure oil pressure comes up quick and strong, and I check the amps to ensure the battery is being charged.
It's personel choice, whether you want one or not. If you don't want one, then you should have some other form of warning to let you know your lovely new motor just lost all it's oil.

I am thinking about getting an oil pressure gauge and either a volt or ammetere
was just wondering other peoples experiences is all
i personally dont like relying on the "idiot light"(oil pressure light) as i think they only come on when the pressure is under 4PSI(or roughly 30kpa)
