go with a set screw type connector...

...IMHO rather than a crimp type, and there's no reason to use the same plating for speaker cable connectors as what the binding posts use (or may not use such as unplated copper types). If a strict "same plating concept" were true, folks would steer clear of anything (such as rhodium or silver plated) other than gold plated rca's for example, since the vast majority of rca jacks are gold plated.

If you are looking for HQ spades to terminate CHeLA jumpers with, the set screw type AudioQuest CF spade that RadioWonder selected is a fine choice and should allow easy stacking capability if needed. The AudioQuest CF's silver and gold versions should sound rather similar, with just a tad more warmth offered by the gold version since both versions are thinly flash plated.
