Analog is my preference because it is easier to read for me.

Get a large face on, 2 1/2 inch or larger with a bleeder valve and a straight chuck on a 15" or more hose.

I generally like the Moroso, Intercomp, Rebco and Long Acre gauges. A little more expensive but they last a long time if you do not lose it.

I went from digital to analog so I wouldn't have to worry about batteries. I like the release valve on this for bringing the pressure down to the exact amount after pumping it up.

Greetings,

I use an EZ-Air that clips (chuck is on 11 inch hose) on the valve stem and allows you to add air to the tire as well as release air without removing the gauge. Also, reads to 100 psi (160 psi available) - my pickup tires and RV tires need 70 and 65 psi. Many gauges only read to 60 psi - this gauge gives me the most flexibility. Initially purchased it to use when we had a Honda Goldwing - the rear tire valve stem on a newer model Wing is extremely hard to reach.
