I don't know if anybody ever answered this. The simplest kind - momentary 
single pole, single throw is all you need. When you push the button, it 
shorts the two terminals together, when you let it go they disconnect. If 
there is an option of normally open or normally closed, you want normally 
open.

Other pole/throw combinations can be made to work also, it's usually just 
a 
question wiring the right terminals.
