Westac Fuel Pressure Gauge In, Need advise

Got the Westac fuel pressure gauge in and now I'm undecided on which way to install it. It is the Electric gauge 0-30 psi.
I've read to use the banjo bolts from Geno's and use the tapped bolt at the pump to hook the sending unit line to. And some say to put the taped bolt on the bottom of the filter housing where the line comes out going to the injector pump. I also noticed that Geno's sells a tapped filter cap for the purpose of attaching the sending unit directly to the cap.
So whats the best way?
Thanks, Bill

Before I replaced the lines in my fuel system I used the tapped banjo on the outlet of the filter housing. Then I connected an 18" grease gun hose to the banjo and the sender to get it away from the engine vibrations. This will also keep the schrader valves in the system if Dodge needs to test for any reason.

I used the tapped bolts from Geno's on the inlet and outlet of the fuel filter housing. I run dual senders for before and after filter readings. For my money that's the only way to go.

I called Geno's today and talked to them about the new fuel filter housing cap they just started selling. It replaces the plastic stock cap. It's polished metal with a 3/4" hex head on top for easy removal. The hex head is tapped for the sending unit to attach directly to it. They said they are sending a quick disconnect adapter for the wiring going to the sending unit for easy removal when changing the filter. Seemed a little pricey 59.00, but what the heck.
When I get it installed I will let everyone know how it works.
Thanks MLR1 and rockwithjason for your replys.
