I've been happy with my 45 Amp DC-DC from Iota.  I also have a 12V
power steering pump, and 45 Amp is slightly insufficient for my
needs... 30 Amp should be fine for you.

I originally had my DC-DC switched with the ignition, but since
getting the car on the road I discovered that the DC-DC needed to be
on all of the time to recharge my 12V battery once I stopped driving.
