I use separate custom.el file where I never look inside.

I have ~/.emacs.d/init.el

which has on its end:

(load "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")

and I have variable:

 '(custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")

in "custom.el"

So that way you will separate custom.el and not have init.el
cluttered, and you can separate other options too.
