Smoke alarm circuit on with the lights or seperate breaker?

with lights every time. stops the plonkers turning them off.

Domestic, on with lights, thus making it harder for the customer to switch off or not know its tripped.......

With lights

the key switch is for isolating the alarms for maintenance etc without isolating the lights, as per building regs guidance (it's not a reg).

And if you forget to switch it back on the smokes don't work, another idea thought up by someone who has no electrical knowledge no doubt.
