go with the 30 psi guage, that way you have a little leeway if you want to go over 20 at some point.

Kevin, definitely 30psi, esp if you're getting a 16t...you probably won't go over 20 or much far over that, but in case you decide to try it out, it'll give you that ability, and who knows, you may get a 19t someday!
