Here is what i would do;

The people who do extreme case modifications often use aircraft
switches that require you to flip back a cover; this gives
them that "serious hardware" look. If my soldering iron switch
ever goes bad, I will put one of those in just because it's cool.

Then again, I have two outlet strips on my test bench; one for
things that stay on 24/7 and one for things that I turn off when
I leave. Outlet strips are a lot easier to replace than OEM
switches.
