I have an X that has a completely stock electrical system, I’m planning on adding the following:
Honda wiper
Winch
Corbin Customs turn signals
Light bar or pods.
Perhaps an inferno heater.
I see lots of wiring products sold by numerous companies and even this Forum.

My confusion is do I need the Honda wiring and switches or do these aftermarket options do the same thing?

I really want a clean electrical install and hopefully troublefree.

Save the trouble and start a conversation with @Hondasxs
Once you tell him exactly what you need, I'm sure he will be able to custom tailor a system for you with minimal invasion of the stock wiring.

Thank you @Hondasxs for what you are doing! I’m new to the scene and also had questions about all the wiring products and electrical system the Talon has. Is there a thread on the electrical system and ways to upgrade it. Thanks again for your time. We are picking up our 2020 4 seater tomorrow!!! I will be ordering my wench and plate setup from you soon!!

@Peakriver.... You are planning similar things to what I am in the middle of.

I am using a switch plate from XTC Power Products. I bouught switches separately, and making a home built panel with a high current relay triggered by the " key on power" and fused for 80 Amps where I take power from Honda's Winch Power pre-wire. I am also using a 10 circuit power waterproof distribution panel with 5 - fused 30 Amp relays and 5 -separate fused circuits ( 5 to 15 A as required).

Distribution panel located above and to the side of glove box in firewall. Want to make sure I can't drain the battery with key off and protect all wiring from accessory faults ( shorts).

I bought an aftermarket rubber shield (Ebay) that spans the entire width of the firewall to replace the stock shield that only covers the driver side half of the firewall.

I included some photos of my work in progress. I will clean up and protect wiring before I call it done. Reliability is super important to me. ( after all that's why we buy Honda.... Right? )
