By "best" I mean the most reliable and accurate...in your humble opinion.

Mine are currently Murphy 20P-150... one has failed (after 22 years !) and wondering if I should order another Murphy or a different make.

If you need an alarm , the adjustable Murphy is about it.
 
I have a coolant alarm by Murphy - me like.

If you already have the dash cutouts for Murphy, replace them. As FF says, the alarm circuit is golden.

Interesting....didn't know the adjustable alarm trigger was that unique. Yeah I have coolant alarm gauges also...obviously they high trigger rather than low.

The answer is staring you in the face. Or perhaps I should say you have been staring at it's face.
