Switch vs Router?

Now, I don't need an explanation of what they are, but way way back a family friend told me, that if I want a better connection, always be connected directly to the router. Now, this was ten years ago, and I have never faulted from this "way of internets". Now, where I'm at now, it would make so much sense to be connected with a switch, since we have everything centralized in the house, but here I am needing to be directly connected.

So, is this way of thinking just plain stupid? I guess I have gone down this path that if I am connected to the router I'll get our full speeds, but if I'm on a switch I'll be basically sharing a connection with everyone connected to the switch.

Someone set me straight.
