I'd put the AP disconnect switch on the lowest and the PTT on the trigger. Put the rest on your panel near their own boxes/screens. DO NOT HEED Infinity's enthusiasm and their advice to add something for every darned switch position on the grip. Flaps, start, boost pump, lights, et al. just beg for complexity, are not standard and are downright hazardous, IMHO.
