You should not really need any extra protection on the cable.......

Exactly, if you put the cable into a black plastic tube for protection....... and then damage that tube........ then you are even more likely to damage the cable as the broken tube may cut into the cables sheathing and the cable itself.

You are better off spending the 'plastic tube money' on ensuring you have a good quality cable in the first place.

There is a good reason why the battery cables don't run accross the front of the car.  If you are unlucky enough to have an accident there is a potential fire hazard in having unfused cables in the crumple zone.

Either feed the cable inside the front chassis rail near the PAS pipes or further back in the engine bay.

Where is your split-charge relay?  If your second battery is for the winch then you could connect the cable via the solenoid pack for that.  

Our second battery is wired in parallel and the cable runs across the top of the electric fan brackets (which are plastic) inside that plastic armouring.
