Definitely a boost/vac gauge if you plan on mods. A/F is a nice to have not a need to have. If you are going to play with the mapping yourself defiinitely go with a wideband O2 sensor and a/f gauge.

Boost/vac for now and save up for a wide band, don't bother with a narrow band AF gauge.

Yea, unless you are going to be modding the car (ie, big turbo, etc), and willing to pay for a good wideband A/F gauge, then I wouldn't worry about it. Narrow band is worthless.
