I certainly start with the BP motors.
If I ever get that far, for air starting, or maybe I should say rod-starting, the boosters, I was playing with the idea of putting a 23A size 12V battery in each vector control pod. And have the motion of the rocket up the rod/rail pull a tethered insulating pin to complete the circuit and fire the igniter. From your description, it sounds like I might be able to do the same trick with long leads, rather than on board power.
And I launch with clubs that have rails. WOOSH and TWA.
