I think you'd want to use a breaker under high power situations.

breakers make it easy to change thing around in your system. add an amp or cap. all you do is trip the breaker and no power. easy to worrk on. i use them

Personally I use a circuit breaker, it is easier to use and cheaper then buying fuses. I have not heard about running both a circuit breaker and an anl fuse inline next to the battery.

There is no real big difference between the both as far as safety. The high point is convenience, when you blow a fuse you have to get another and take the time to change it out. With the circuit breaker you just flip the switch and you are back in business.
