I wouldn't recommend either.  There's a reason companies like Volvo, Toyota, 
etc don't use them.  Mostly having to do with them causing more problems 
than they solve.

If you are absolutely determined to go the route of Ford and GM and install 
one, I'd suggest an inertia switch over an oil pressure cut off switch.
