Default Switches on electrics

To anyone knowledgable regarding thuse vs non-use of swithces on electrics. Today, my friend plegged in his battery on his Banshee 3d thereby arming it. Wanting me to fly it for the first flight I picked up rhe TX to check things out and in the process got my thumb under the throttle and you know the rest!!! Part of the problem is my inexperience with electrics which is limited to a ZAGI. After picking up the moter and promising to rebuild the nose in a few days, I commented "if I ever go further into electrics I will install a switch. Other e flyers took strong umbrage to this remark so here I am. What are thr pro's & con's for using or not using arming switched? Thanks a bunch. Phil
