Winch battery connection, switch or Anderson

[Bodge Garage]

What are all of your preferred winch wiring methods? Anderson connector? Switch? Both? Neither?
This is how I had my Land Rover wired so I duplicated it for the Bronco. I have jump leads that connect to the battery break away and I always like having a way to isolate any add on accessories from the vehicle as needed. I will fab a bracket for some vibration resistance but its already over 90* so that will be later.

That looks nice, clean install that is multipurpose!
I just went with a rated relay back to an outfitter switch so i dont have to pop the hood.
I do see your reasoning for ability to disconnect as well as a jump point. Always wanted to put in that for jump cables, never got around to it. I now have the NOCO GB150 and it is awesome. Used it at least half a dozen times still almost a full charge. Plus moving from vehicle to vehicle is a breeze.

I did the same. It also gives me a nice easy switched connection when I hook up my Viair 400P not having to undo the positive cover
