A little wiring help, please?

I'm preparing to wire my new Devils Own meth controller somewhere under my dash. Can someone tell me what wires would be best/easiest to tap into? I'll need a constant 12V source that does not disappear while starting, a 12V source that turns on when ignition is on but does not disappear while starting, and a convenient ground wire. I plan to use Posi-Tap connectors.

The cigarette lighter is key-on 12v.

Bump.

Still need to identify a wire that is always hot (12V).

It's not too much work to pull the dde and holder under the cowl, then you can fish the wires into the cab through the vent. Ground and constant positive are in there.....

I will try to get a couple of pics of mine when I get home. My controller is in the glove box and I was able to find an open ignition power socket in the fuse box.
