First: Buy the best gauges you can afford, the Defi setup sounds awesome, I wish I had started there (I should have applied my rifle optics philosophy to that lol). Some quick research on the Prosports shows a LOT of bad experiences.
Which ones: For my application (commuting/street driving with a non-stock unique setup), I find the single most useful gauge so far to be Wideband AFR. I would say get Vac/Boost, Wideband, and EGT all at the same time. Then add Oil Pressure and Oil Temp later.

I think you're a bit of a special case due to the crazy turbo/ECU reprogramming you've got going on that makes watching the AFR useful. For most people, the AFR is relatively unimportant, and the EGT acts plenty good as a warning gauge if the car goes too lean at the track or under heavy load.
