I ran all my Sniper battery and ground connections on both cars straight to the battery. It was important to me to just make sure there was nothing in between that could potentially cause an issue.

You could connect to the power lug on the starter solenoid if you wish, and will work. Like Stuart said all the connections in between that need to be good and monitored for potential issues just to prevent a problem.

Not that hard to hide everything at the battery though. I run all the wires inside the fender, and they just pop out right by the battery terminals. For battery terminals I use a style that has extra connections on it, and the wires just merge with the battery cables themselves for a clean appearance that really isn't noticeable. In fact on the car with a side post battery, you can't even see any of it. Just one way of doing it.

On your battery ground, that needs to run to the engine block/head somewhere, and usually they have an extra small wire that runs to a fender or core support to act as a chassis ground.
