Seat bolts and seat belt bolts have been known to have Lock-Tite applied to them for obvious reasons. Never tested Lock-Tite for conduction but could be an "insulator" or partial insulator as the metal to metal contact is impeded?

Shadetree Mechanic is correct about the number of spot welds, panel sealant etc.

Directly tied to the battery is always best but you do encounter the voltage drop (positive cable) issue with longer cables or higher resistance to ground on the negative side of the power supply with the longer cables.
