I ran mine from a hot wire off the starter lug and added a 15 amp inline fuse for good measure. No switch but if I ever do add a switch it'll be on the ground circuit: ground it to the chassis where the switch is and run one wire back to the fan.

THIS ^^^

I pulled power for my fan from the rear-mounted battery in my Spyder. There is a fuse at the battery, then about 2 feet to a relay mounted right on the fan. The fan has power all the time, turns on and off when needed. All by itself, with no intervention.

IF you wash the car, try to keep water away from the relay. One time I was a little exuberant with the spray and flooded the relay. The fan wouldn't shut off until I unplugged the relay.

After this happened, I drilled a 1/16" hole in the bottom of the relay to let the water out. No troubles since then in 15 years...

Or use a sealed relay, unlike me.
