Installing oil pressure gauge

I like mechanical and if you can swing the $ I'd just order up some braided stainless line.  You can usually buy it from Summit, Jegs etc in pre-made lengths of 4 to 6 feet.

I've heard mixed reviews on copper. Some say they've ran the same tube for 20 years and some say it'll fail from the vibration.  The vibration issue makes sense to me truthfully.

still running the plastic line - yikes!

Also, oppinions welcome on choice of electric or mech. I've heard mechanical are generally more accurate, but there's always the chance of breakage resulting in an oil leak inside the car. Is copper tubing fairly safe?
