I went with a remote solinoid and it cured my hot start problems, I have pretty tight clearance with my hedman headers on the 69 4x4 so I later added a GM Delco Remy mini starter and can now remove and replace the starter without loosing the headers, plus it only weighs about 8 pounds compared to about 20 for a stock starter. This is the same starter that comes stock on the 502 crate motor.
I also replaced all battery cables with 2/0 welding cable and keep them as short as possible, its kind of overkill but most of the battery cable you buy at auto parts stores is to wimpy to carry a sufficent load.
