Default Electric vs. Mechanical

Hey guys quick question, Looking to get a water temp gauge.
Is the autometer electric more accurate than the factory elec. or should I go mechanical. (That's what I've always run but I was wondering if the aftermarket electric gauges were worth it.

Thanks!

I like the Autometer low temp electric's..... They go from 60 - 210 with a 270 deg sweep..... They seem to be very accurate, but definately not one of the cheaper ones.....

I prefer mech just because they are alot more reliable. I hate wiring shit up.
