Transaxle/engine oil temp vs water temp

With the discussions going on concerning oil temp and the best location for the sender, and engine temps in general, I realized I really don’t know what the real value of monitoring both engine oil and water temp. is. Given limited dash real estate, (and the difficulty of scanning mutiple instruments while very busy) would it be a better strategy to switch the oil temp sender over to the transaxle and keep an eye on water temp for engine concerns and transaxle oil temp for that gauge? My gauges aren’t electric, so a oil temp selector switch isn’t an option.
