 Could you use a SPST switch instead so you don't have to hold it down?

Absolutely.

 What type would you recommend?

[BCat]

The free type.  Honestly, I don't know.  I got my switch from a broken DVD player.  I'd probably get something like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062500&tab=features

 But, how would that work? It's rated at 250VAC and 3A. This switch would probably be better considering it's in the size range but the leads are little small.
