I personally would be somewhat circumspect about using a keyed switch as one important need for the switch is to be able to cut off power immediately in case of a short or fire. Can't really see much of a need for a keyed switch anyway with our cars and I prefer the look of a lever handle.

Also, avoid inexpensive switches. Bought one of the $12 models that leaked a small amount of current across the poles when off. Not good. Replaced with a Napa switch. Switch can also be a bottleneck in a 6V system getting sufficient current to the starter where double ought cables are a must. Switch should be rated for high amperage.
