Me personally, I really don't like gauges. Its not that I don't like knowing whats going on with the car, its just I can not find a decent place to put them in the S2000 that isn't gawdy, yet still offers good visibility. In my eyes, in the dash isn't in direct line of sight, so you have to take your eyes off the road to view a boost gauge - not really my idea of safe. Other normal spot is the A-Pillar, in my personal opinion I think gauges on the S2000 A-Pillar just stick out too far, doesn't look right in my opinion.
Personally I have decided to just run gauge-less keeping my eyes and ears open for possible issues - and trust my EMS Tuning. Then again, I only drove my car 6k miles this year and plan to drive even less next year.
From what I have been told, the AEM EMS does not have a display type mode - where you can just plug in the laptop and view certain parameters. If they do though offer something like this, I may look into it. Just tell my passenger where things should be and tell him to let me know if it goes off track.
If I did decide to run gauges though - Id run the following :
Wideband with Digital Readout, not a A/F Sweeper Gauge
Boost in psi, not bar.
Oil Pressure
Exhaust Temperature
What gauges you choose to go with are up to you - I'd probably run the DEFI Gauges for the Peak Warning Light & Beep!

It's nice to know your fuel pressure's there too.

Does anyone make a program for the Pocket PC so you can read this sort of information on that via some sort of interface box?
This would be ideal as then you would only need to buy the sensors.
