An idea: what if I use a single "three-way switch" and have one hot

The only downside is that it will never be "off" unless I kill the
circuit breaker.
Opinions?

Why would you want to have to turn off the breaker? Isn't there
anything else on that circuit? Using a breaker as a switch is a bad
idea, and running an inexpensive fan constantly is also a bad idea.

What's your issue with a lighted (or not) duplex switch?
