What's the opinions on which battery terminal to connect a disconnect switch, positive or negative? Thanks,

To me it's irrelevant whether the disconnect switch is wired into the positive or negative side ... in my case I've always wired into the positive side. I always tow with the disconnect switch turned on and have never forgotten to check it as I always want the TV charge line to be constantly maintaining a charge on the trailer battery as I tow. This is just my opinion which is unlikely to ever change despite these never ending, mind numbing online debates over who is "right" and who is "wrong". :R
You are correct in that it doesn't matter for those that are perfect and never make mistakes.
However systems are normally designed to compensate for those of us less perfect who are capable of mistakes. If installed correctly in the positive line with the breakaway connected prior to the switch, mistakes can be made and still not put lives at risk.
