Gyros in place of potentiometers?/Gyro intergration with jaguars

We are looking for a sensor to measure the angle of our boom on the robot suitable for PID control. The boom was not designed for potentiometers, so we were wondering if gyros are a suitable replacement?

Secondly we are using CAN jaguars and PID controls for the first time this year. We wanted to make sure that there was no potential conflict between a drive gyro, and a CAN Jaguar system with encoders. The two won't send conflicting signals to the Cartesian mecanum drive method in Java, will they?
