Default Installing another kill switch, ignition or main relay next?

I'm not the best at electrical wiring so this is just another basic switch, nothing fancy unlike how some people have these timed A/C switches, cig lighter and etc. I already installed a Viper Alarm with all the possible sensors and back up battery and tucked it, I already have a fuel pump switch so which should I kill next? I'm deciding on ignition or main relay, which one should I do, I'm debating about doing the ignition because I will need a relay and make it somehow look OEM. But yeah which should I do next between those two? Which is more important?

If you put it on the main relay you have to move it from its stock location Cause all they have to do is jump that wire you cut.

if you're gonna use the main relay, tap onto the black ground wire. Either one will be fine.

What would you like to know? It was a pretty clear statement.

If the main relay isn't moved the kill on it is virtually useless. It's be like putting a steering wheel lock on yet leaving the keys to it on the dash.
