Hi Bill,
  Yes, the senders should be the same type.  The VDO senders have been found to be unreliable so I now recommend using a specific Stewart Warner sender  (out of town so I don't have PN with me)  The EM2 has to be updated to work with the new type if it hasn't been done already.  But your 2 sender setup should work fine. 

I have found that the pressure after the sensor will go down on a high throttle runup if the filter is getting clogged so I do this rather than install a second sensor.

I am considering placing a fuel pressure sender in the line after the EFI pumps and before the fuel filter. And a selector switch in the sensor wires from the two senders.  This way I could check the pressure drop across the filter prior to each flight.  Will this work with the EM2 and what is the sender I should use.  I have seen some discussion about EDO senders used with fuel, but that is what I am now using with no trouble so far.  I assume that it would not be a good idea to mix and match the senders???
