I like the A pillar solution because it is in my line of sight the majority of the time. I'm moving the gauges/warning lights in my racecar up to on top of the dash as well in this offseason because I hated only being able to check them on straightaways. I don't care about drilling holes in that 25 year old cracked dash, haha.

Oh I wouldn't cut the dash itself but the cheap gauge hood or steering column cover is fair game IMO
I'm in the habit of checking mine on straights. Got into the habit because of the race car and never knowing when it would blow up
My race car doesn't have a dash, so they are attached to the "dash" bar of the cage instead. Out of line of site for sure, but that's as high as I could go with that setup.
