Robbert,
If you configure the circuit as for Starter/House batteeries, the switch is for charging, not winching. The winch and any other auxilliary loads need to be connected directly to the second battery. You don't want to combine two batteries for winching and drain both, do you?
In the Main/Backup configuration the main battery is used for all jobs and only when it becomes drained, you combine two batteries to boost the current needed for starting. A 75-100A rated switch should suffice, as the backup battery is not expected to supply all the current required, and in any case only for a short time.
