take a look at the power draw of the solenoid vs the switch/wire you want to use. i don't think solenoids usually draw enough power to require a relay tho.

you may want to use a combination of toggle switch and momentary switch.
Toggle switch disconnects the circuit so pressing the momentary switch by accident doesn't disable/lock your brakes.

i would switch on the positive side as you don't have the possibility of a short disabling your brakes that way. also grounding to the chassis by the solenoid is fine.
