Vac/Boost/Vac gauges will help diagnose some issues with your motor, as well as be very helpful if you are running vacuum brakes.
This is the current boost gauge I run in my '87.
Autometer Z-Series #2614
0-30, 0-35 and 0-60 psi boost gauges are for the serious racers who need to glance at their boost on the top end. They are also easier to read, larger numbers.
Just my experience.

This is the same one I run...I like it because I've blown off vacuum lines a couple of times...having vacuum brakes its nice to know when my car isn't going to want to stop. The vacuum reading is another diagnostic tool.
