You really only need two gauges...a wideband and a boost/vacuum gauge. Now since I don't know if you want to purchase a 300+ dollar wideband setup your next best bet is a EGT. Water temp, oil temp/pressure, etc is all extra but good to have if you want especially in a car that will see high load for extended periods of time.
Do not purchase an "air/fuel" gauge whic simply reflects the oxygen sensor voltage via a colorful bar display.
A mechanical boost gauge is fine...electronic temp and pressure gauges for the fluids are a must unless you are going to mount them on the hood.
Also...you should find out what kind of logging software is available for your car...if any. Looking at ignition timing advance and counts of knock is crucial in the tuning process.
