What do you consider to be the most effective fuel cutoff mechanism in the event of an accident, mild impact to rollover. The kind of thing that never happens to you but one day does.

The wiring scenario I have laid out so far...electric fuel pump wired to an independent dash switch...dash switch is wired to the "on" position of the ignition key.

In the event of an accident what would you install to shut down fuel flow even though even though you may be knocked out.
I know a number of drag racers that have their electric fuel pump wired to an oil pressure switch and you could also add a master cut-off switch on your dash where you could easily reach it and cut off all eletrical power in case of fire/emergency......... the latter would be the easiest, both would be the safest.........
