Default Gas engine ignition switch

Do most use a heavy duty manual switch for ignition cutoff or is a standard switch fine. Is the current draw great enough for justifying a heavy duty switch.

They don't draw too many amps so most switches will work. I always just a DSC switch from Smart-Fly just because I can use it in many places and they are only $15

Not that much draw, it's on the primary side of the coil. I use a standard-size DPST from Radio Shack. I like the security of a DP switch instead of an SP.
