Water temp you already have. So I think the two most practical is oil temp and volts

True, why would you say oil temp over pres?

Because if the pressure is out then your temp will rise immediately and you will already know something is wrong. Kills two birds with one stone.

I've used an autometer water temp gauge as both a water and oil temp gauge.

Just run 2 senders to a rocker switch
