Subject:      Power source for relay headlight

I have reviewed several websites about adding relays to the headlight circuit.  However, one has taking power straight from the battery, while another shows a schematic taking power from the alternator.  

I believe it would be easier to get power straight from the battery, but which of these ways would be best?  Also, a listee once mentioned additional grounding for the the headlights, but I cannot find the post (Dennis Haynes?)
