I am just trying to make my flight packs as robust as possible with economy in mind. And would it make sense to use a Deans connector for a switch instead of the standard small gage wire switches to power my servo city board.

Thanks
Go with a larger capacity than 500 mAh, if you fly several long fights, you don't want to fly with the battery below two thirds of it capacity... its like driving you car 300 miles with only half a tank of fuel, why risk it... I fly my receivers on a 2300 mAh 6.6 volt LiFe, and recharge after the third flight.
