or would it be better to get a boost gauge that has a larger positive boost readout?

Default Not really...
It's more FYI than it's helpful. I personaly went with it just because I'll never go above 25 psi anyway, and it's kind of cool to see the vacuum...but it doesn't help.

Not a huge deal, but helps me to keep off of boost during warm up and cool down.

I love seeing vaccuum. I can see how close I am to making boost when warming up, etc.

Default Huh? What does tach have to do with boost?
You can be at redline with no boost or low PRM with boost.

Default i suppose, but after you know your driving style and when you should be close to making boost.
and the vacuum gauge would make sure you never are into boost before you want to be.

funny, we both spelled vacuum differently and incorrectly.

Default I find the *vacuum* on the boost gauge to be very helpful.
Very funny indeed. I need to learn how to spell. ;-)
