Ignoring what the factory installed, and dismissing
fuel, speedo, and tach, here's my list of no-brainers:
-Water Temp
-Oil Pressure
-Volts
-Oil Temp
-Amps (volts tells you most of what you need to know)
-Compass (I get lost easily.  I blame it on being
left-handed)

Those are the key ones in almost anyone's book. 
Then... 
-Exhaust Manifold Temp (modded engines/management
systems only)
-Underhood/intake air temp
-Maybe another oil pressure gauge (sensor mounted
different location)
-A/F mixture (Exh. man temp tells you enough)
-Tranny oil temp (racers only, really)
-Fuel pressure (underhood)
-Vacuum (have one one a car, never use it, wich
something else were there)

Other thoughts?

BTW I'd sure like to see some of these in center-pin
style, I like that over the common bottom-mounting for
the needle.
