Rotax 100hp three blade prop, should I use two mag switches or use the standard Cessna type key switch/mags?

I would go with seperate switches. Because rotax run AC powered CDI's there has been some problems ( occasionally) with key type switches.
Yes. Two separate switches.
I like the having ability to turn the engine over without starting it. I use two rockers for ignition and a momentary key switch for starting.
A related question: When turning the engine off, do you shut down one mag, then the second, or both at the same time?

Two switches, push button start switch, no key. Both off at the same time.
