AWG #4 sounds a little more reasonable! As long as the starter cranks smartly and the cable doesn't get warm, #4 primary cables will work fine for you. To your question my vote is for the diode. It's cheap (less than a buck) and correctly installed is pretty much bullet-proof. An oil pressure switch on the other hand will cost probably $20, needs to be plumbed in, is subject to leak, and if it sticks "on" you'll never know it until you discover the battery is dead some morning. My PERSONAL preference however is for the warning light! Not only does it tell you the instant the alternator stops charging, it'll also warn you immediately if the fan belt breaks or the water pump siezes - a nice feature when people other than myself operate my tractor!
