The best answer is "all of them." But in reality, the ones scanned most frequently would be the artificial horizon, the airspeed indicator and the altimeter. The vertical speed indicator and the compass are also critical with the VSI giving you the earliest indication of a climb or descent, and the compass confirming level wings and/or no slipping. These instruments are used to maintain primary control of the aircraft, but additional instruments are required for navigation to a specific point.

How do planes fly through thick clouds?

Thick clouds are really just a light mist, flying through them is similar to driving through thick fog, it doesn't affect the performance of the aircraft in the least. It does however affect the pilots ability to see, and most aircraft are equipped with instrumentation which allows the pilot to maintain control and positional awareness even with all windows blotted out. Aircraft which are not so equipped are forbidden from flying into clouds. Aircraft flying into and through clouds can only do so under more restrictive rules requiring constant contact with air-traffic-control.
