The oil is going to go through the whole system anyway, just think of it as a circle... there is no best place to put it if it's irrelevant. oil pressure is the one where I would worry about placement, definitely on the lines or on some block and not the oil pan. I don't know if it would read the same in both places.

i'm not a big engine pressure genius but the temp gauge is kind of a dead horse.
