Default EGT OR WIDE BAND ?

I'm wondering what is better to tune with. I've heard a few opinions about each but i want to open up this topic for discussion .I know the easy way out would be to buy both and i know the cost differences play a factor.OK MAYBE THIS IS MY QUESTION .What will you get the best results as far as tuning goes versus cost.

EGT kinda of Accurate but I use it for safty purpose. Dont wonna get the Turbo to hot.

I use A Greddy A/F gauge wideband for tuning. Its really accurate for tuning.

Fuck a Autometer A/F gauge. Just a pretty light show.

THIS IS WHAT IVE HEARD. I HEARD THAT YOU SHOULD TUNE WITH A WIDE BAND AND THE EGT IS A SAFETY MEASURE, LIKE WAS ALREADY MENTIONED ABOVE^ AND WHEN THE TEMPS ARE TOO HIGH THAT IT RELATES TO THE TIMING WHEN THE AFR. IS IN GOOD SHAPE
