For an aftermarket gauge does it matter if it's in bars or pounds? i was looking at a few Autometer gauges and the ones that measure in pounds seem much easier to read for accuracy but i don't know if it will work with the sender.

I would pick bars simply because that's what the factory used. Also, with analog gauges I don't think the idea is to really read them while driving but just a glance at the relative position of the needle tells you good/bad. This is why in modern jet aircraft they combine alalog-like display (simulated on a screen) with the digital readout. The pilot can more easily pick out what doesn't belong without actually reading the gauges.
