Oil pressure gauge
Looking to buy a oil pressure gauge, some read max 100 psi, others more. Will 100psi max reading be enough? I'll be running a line from the oil housing to the sensor.

I read over 100psi when cold but it's not like it really matters to read that high
You're more concerned with low readings

You definitely want one that reads higher than 100psi. You'll likely see more than that on cold starts and will be around 80psi cruising and higher when going WOT.

This. I remember not checking this before I bought my first one and learning the hard way. I think I have a 150 now but haven't driven the car in 2 years and can't seem to find any pics of the gauge.....

Buy a good one the first time and you will never have to buy it again.

So The AEM one looks to have a way you can set up a warner when it drops. What do you think a good number to set it up for low oil pressuer before things get ugly
