I use one similar to the Green knob type. Mine is a black knob and much heavier duty than the popular green knob type that are sold nearly everywhere. Bought it at a swap meet many years ago for about 3 bucks. Probably not suitable for batteries that are difficult to access. I like it because it is simple.

If a simple knob type battery disconnect is used always besure to tighten the knob real tite by hand. On one or two occasions mine was not real tite and the engine stopped at low idle speed.

I wouldn't use the key type. Loose the key. corrosion from battery acid etc can cause problems.
