Really does not matter as long as it is switched power, that is it comes on while cranking and while in the run position. I would not use the coil for a source as I like my coil to not share any power with anything else, even if the control box does not draw much. I don't think they were even fused on all models, but an inline fuse could not hurt.

from the factory the ignition control unit & TCI-H get power from the coil +ve/15 side, black wire for the TCI and a white/black for the ignition control module.
 As above, doesnt matter where as long as its live with the ignition and when cranking, and it is not fused.
