I'd consider to get a kill-switch, and some secondary activation for it by the brake pedal.

On starters. Yes Ive actually had one on my last ls series vehicle (03 express van) and they do last longer but my experience was that the gears start to wear and make awful noises after a while. I do forget what brand mine was but it was about $220. IMHO its all the same regular startes wear motors gear reduction units wear gears. All that torque has to go some where its just what breaks first.
I still believe it would worth to try the idle shut-off and engine-off coasting
