Would get something like this, which is a nice easily read size for a gauge.
It is 0-30psi, but that would also keep you covered, when running your engines on full pressure (max standard safety valve setting).

There is quite a few at very fair prices, if you trawl through Ebay:
0-30psi:

0-15psi:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=pressure+gauge+0-15+psi&_sop=15
Do go for an American or European made gauge though, as the Chinese may be tempting with their low prices, but precision does follow the price.
