Definitely the Moroso. The Summit switch would probably burn the first time you tried to start the car, since it's only rated for 175 surge amps. I don't know that 175 amps would allow you to crank the engine over.

You would want to hook the disconnect switch to the main wire that doesn't go to the starter. You do not want the starter current to flow through that switch, at all costs.
