Fuel Pump Kill

What would be the best way to wire an electric fuel pump when the engine is shut down? Threw lanyards or relay?

hobbs switch is the best way to control fuel pump .also a fuel return from the regulator to the tank helps too.

need to run power thru a relay, but I like to use a push/pull switch mounted at dash as a emergency/security override in between ignition and pump...
