I would go with the 80 PSI sender. Here is my logic.

40 PSI which is where I would expect the gauge to run going down the highway would be 1/2 scale. 60 PSI which is where the relief valve would kick in cold would be 3/4 scale. If the relief valve in the pump were ever to stick driving the cold oil pressure higher than 60, you would see it using an 80 PSI sender. You would not see it using a 60 PSI sender.

I believe 80 PSI is OEM.
