FWIW, a proper crimp is a superior long term connection both mechanically
and electrically. The key is the correct crimp tool and / or jaws.
Unfortunately, they tend to be expensive. Soldering is a no-no in the
electrical distribution industry.
That said, I agree, for us DIY'ers, soldering using 2% silver gives a good
long term (mostly) trouble free compromise.
