Question Rubicon Locker/ESP Mod

I am going to add toggle switches to allow full operation of my lockers regardless of speed or transfer case. I would also like to add a ESP disconnect for more control and to insure that ESP is off while lockers are on.

My question is does it make sense to add double pole, single throw for the lockers and a single pole, single throw for the ESP? With this, I can wire the ESP through all three switches. If either of the locker switches or the ESP switch is thrown, it will cause the ESP to be disabled thus insuring that the ESP is off when lockers are engaged. I will still have the single pole, switch to allow ESP to be disabled regardless of the locker status. Of course, after all the switches are put back into the normal position, I would need to shut off and restart before the ESP will come back. Anyone see an issue with this? I have a 2009 Rubicon, manual. Thanks.

Second thought, the lockers would need to be on a double pole, double throw switch. Otherwise, the ESP and locker would be off at the same time or on at the same time, the opposite of what I would want. Hopefully this makes more sense. Thanks again.
