I would go for a combination. Actually, I did. When I purchased this boat, there was no instruments onboard. I wanted depth, but I quickly found that for little more and more or less the same effort installing, you can get a basic chartplotter. Btw. If you are installing a through hull transducer, consider a triple (speed and depth (the third is temperature)).

Trying to decide on: i) a simple depth only display, or ii) a more elaborate chart plotter with depth. For chart and depth, I currently use my iPhone in a waterproof case on a RAM mount. Navionics for charts and for depth a SonarPhone TBox with an in-hull transducer. This works fine for my purposes but it would be good to have redundancy and something that works for deeper depths (>200ft). Any recommendations? Thanks, Jeremy
