Jim,
One of the things that's really hard on starters is engine kick back when you first hit the key. Most higher compression, higher performance engines have mild to severe kick back when hot, especially if you have a standard ignition without start retard. I took the poor man's approach and have a seperate switch. The one one the column turns on all of the accessories and the starter, and I have a hidden switch that feeds power only to the coil. This switch is for security reasons as well as i can get the engine spinning before there is any spark to the plugs. This eliminates any kick back on the starter. What I would suggest is to get a good quality large body starter, install a insulation blanket on it and wire in a seperate coil power switch. If you do this I think it will be this last starter you ever have to buy. The same starter has been crankin over the ole girls 460 since '92 and 24,000 miles and shows no signs of givin up.
