Is it better to switch positive or negative?

Technically, either way will work, although it’s more common to put the switch in the positive power lead. The reason is that components often have more than one path to ground, so putting a switch in the “primary” ground wire might not completely isolate the accessory from ground.

Does a rocker switch have to be grounded?

Grounding light switches have become commonplace, used as a preventative safety measure. It is perfectly legal to wire a light switch without the inclusion of a ground. Dimmers will require a ground wire but traditional toggle-type switches will not. Omitting a ground wire on any switch is not recommended.

Do relays need to be grounded?

The relay must be on the ground side of the load when the voltages above the coil are hot. The case should be grounded. The relay can be on either side of the load for hot switch voltages that are lower than the coil.
