<p class="MsoNormal">While there are people that claim crimping is better that solder my personal experience is that too many planets (wire, connector, tool, technique) have to align for the perfect crimped connection and I too do the heat shrink over solder
for things like spade and ring connectors. I also solder bullet connectors when I need to add or replace one.<o:p></o:p></p>
