Hi Robbie,
From a standpoint of electrical function, it will make no difference which side of the line is fused. If you are installing a new line cord with polarized plug, then from a safety standpoint the "hot" side should be fused, not the "neutral". The switch should also be in the "hot" side of the line. But if you are not using a polarized plug then it makes no difference, since the plug can be inserted in either direction into the wall receptacle.
As to fuse size, your 37-650 is rated 110 watts, which is just under 1 amp at 120 volts. I would use a 1.5 amp fuse. A 1.25 amp would also probably be OK if you can find one.
