Polarity doesn't matter with a manual switch. Current rating does. A cheap switch is no good. My car has a manual switch in the floor board on the driver side. It can be reached from the driver's seat. It does not add any length to the battery cable, and it works very well. It disconnects everything, including any accessories.
Older Caterpillar dozers (D-7, 1973) had a manual battery disconnect switch I bought a new one about 5 years ago. I don't recall what it cost, but it's a very heavy duty unit, designed for use in a 24 volt system for a 760 CID diesel engine.
