Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

RE: Please advise some quality female banana plugs

You should quickly solder the wiring only at the very end of the contact, on only one side, just like a solder platform of an RCA connector. You want to keep heat away from the plastic insulation to avoid melting it. That's why the end of the contact extends so far away from the insulation.

You can use the quick disconnect I pointed to for a solderless connection. It's the same type of connector used to connect internal wiring to loudspeaker drivers. The binding post contact is designed to accept one. It's easy to crimp, so no worries about having to use a heavy-duty crimping tool for the task.
