Just a few points on ACC vs ON. Turning the key to ACC powers down your ECU, wipers, turn signals, Scangauge, ABS, and traction control. In most cars the headlights, horn, and brake lights are among the few things still powered.

You can live without most of those things most of the time, but you're better off with a kill switch, and maybe a Start switch too.
