Are there certain brands to watch out for? Bosch relays are the way to go? Just curious because I don't want to go wrong with my starter kill install using a cheesy relay.

bosch seem to be more expensive for nothing....using Potter & Brumfield 30/40 amp relays for YEARS with never a failure. Have tried using the cheaper ones too (plastic tab rather than P+B metal tab) and they seem OK too. What kind of vehicle for starter kill? Sometimes vehicle starter wires carry so much current (older chevy's for eg) that its unsafe to do so. Kill the ignition instead :)
