i always use a relay for high load things. I think i have 8 relays right now that i have added 4-40a, 2-80a, and 2-150a. Im sure i will have a few more after this winter. The nice thing about relays is that you can run a lot smaller wire to your switches. My switch panel with consists of 9 switches has mainly 18ga wire.

A few bucks for a relay is worth it to me if it prevents lights from failing, wires burning, fires, and provides more voltage to the lights.
