Default Most effective kill switch? Security?

Alright guys so i just got this 89 crx si, and its pretty much bone stock, i need help choosing the most effective yet affordable ways to prevent my car from getting stolen! and yes i know if they want a car badly they will get it, but security is better then no security. so which is the best type of kill switch? fuel cut off? ignition? Current Ideas: getting NRG hub along with the lock they sell, that "indestructible" pedal lock, and a alarm.

It doesn't matter which circuit you put the switch on.
You are simply adding a layer of security.
Either way, the thief is left to hunting around for the switch.

do a fuse kill switch for the ecu, it kills the distributor and fuel at the same time.

I would probably put a switch on the fuel pump or ignition power that runs to the dizzy. Route the switch inside the cabin somewhere out of plain site. I've often thought about this. Do you have an alarm?

Do people still steal crx's? I always thought people just joy ride them, so a club would keep your average joy rider away. I know people love to steal the 99-00 si's because they can make a lot of quick cash for all the si stuff. My friend had a 2000 si, had 3 kill switches , 2 clubs, and an alarm and they still got to it. Towed it. Cops found it like a week later, no suspension no si interior gauge cluster no engine tranny wiring badges. Just the shell Lol.
