Automatic transmission. It was a rebuild starter. Does it even sound like it could be an ignition switch problem?

First off, thank you for your time!
My '96 Subaru Impreza has had an issue for the past few years where it will randomly not start. It can go at least 20 times starting/running normally, before it does not start.
The problem started about 2 and a half years ago. I immediately thought it was the battery and replaced it. No change. I then replaced the battery cables. No change. I replaced the starter, no change. When I turn the car on, all of the dashboard lights/radio/headlights function normally. However, when I try to start the car, there will be one click, then nothing (headlights also do NOT dim). It does not try to "turn over" and there are not multiple clicking sounds. After about 5 or 10 minutes of scratching my head, it will turn on normally as if nothing had happened.
I figure the only thing left it could be is the ignition switch. I just wanted to get advice before I brought it into a shop and spent all my money to get it fixed.
Thanks!
