On my battery disconnect switch installations I extend the alternator output to the battery side of the disconnect switch. This way the rest of the car is switched off when the switch is opened and the alternator output is still connected to the battery so there is no alternator or regulator killing inductive voltage spike. The only thing to be aware of is that the alternator output wire is always hot.

Ditto, on my HAMBster.
