battery relocation - where to run (+) to starter

Hi, I've mounted my battery with a kill switch and am wondering where you all ran your positive wire to get it back up to the starter. Particularly, did you run it along the outer rail underneath the car, or did you run it through the interior and firewall? I want to keep my wire protected from the outside as much as possible, so I ran it up the passenger side interior, and was considering drilling a hole in the firewall for it. I'm just wondering what most people do and if there's any pros or cons to either choice.

Also, I need to run alternator wire back to the kill switch if I want the kill switch to work properly, correct? Thanks in advance for the help.

ya but even that it looks like to me it'd be real close to the y-pipe/exhaust since mine's running up the passenger side. I was thinking through the firewall above where the passenger left foot would go. Seemed like a good spot, then again I don't have my headers in right now...
