Fuses on the panel, or not

....And be sure to have an appropriate sized fuse as close to the battery
terminals as possible.

I have just finished designing my new panel and will now place all fuses
behind the panel. The reasons are 1) I want a very clean panel and 2) in the
past 600h of flight i never had to reset a fuse, and i wouldn't do so if it
blew. The only thing you must make sure is to have a possibility to shut off
power in case of smoke/fire (master switch).
