Which Tach to install?

What's everyone opinion on this topic? I just finished wiring up my three 2 5/8 Stewart Warner gauges and not sure which Tach to install.
Should I match the Stewart Warner Gauges or the Oldsmobile gauges?

Tachometer
1966 Oldsmobile Tach (mount on dashpad)
1968 Stewart Warner Pedestal Tach (mount on the Steering column)

The Stewart Warner is a nicer tach in my opinion but I think it is just a matter of personal preference.

I agree that which tach is personal preference. I like the tach to be up high so I am not looking down away from the road to see it.

IMO, if you are putting it in a 4 dr. F85, go with the SW and save the sidewinder for a 442.
