Well the original switches have fuses in the main fuse box plus relays behind the glove box and have 2 -30amp and 2-15. You can always purchase or locate the Original switches and just inline fuse them to anything you connect to them.

With your 06 truck, it all should be plug n play. From our sponsors you can get a little kit that has the switch assy, harness, and a little cubby if you don't use a brake control.
The harness has a connector for the back of the switch bank assy and a connector that fits the fuse block. The set of relays are wired into the harness. Pretty nice set up.
But I think the one I got had (2) 30amp circuits and (2) 10 amp cirucuits.

Check this thread...

It is mentioned within the above thread, but the upfitter switches are available in a kit that contains the wiring harness, switches, additional fuse/relay box. Powerstrokeshop.com (site sponsor) sells the entire kit.

And I have seen several links for the installation, but the following was probably one of the better. Great write-up & photos of the entire install.

Hey I would like to thank all of you on this web site. Just got a new 06 F250 SD and had two different dealers say these switches were unavailable. Going to order it tommorow. This has made me very happy. Luv the truck
