Default Electric vs. Mechanical

I've been pondering the addition of an oil pressure gauge for some time. Before you say anything...not it is not going to be a)Indiglo, b) bright blue/red/green/pink, or c) mounted on the pillar next to a chrome fire extinguisher.

The easy way out for the Focus is a mechanical gauge, but I feel a bit uneasy about having oil coming into the interior of my car. Has anyone ever had any problems with oil leaking on a mechanical gauge? Hooking up an electric sending unit is a slight pain in the ass...but doable. Obviously this is more "failsafe", but I'm lazy and I like easy.
