Oil Temp or Oil Press. Gauge?

If you could only get one or the other (oil temperature or oil pressure gauge), which one would you choose and why? Thanks

Oil pressure. The car will still run with toasty oil, but it'll knock a hole in the block pretty quickly with no oil pressure! Plus, you can somewhat infer oil temp from oil pressure (hot oil = lower pressure).
