A key element for a set-screw termination is the use of a copper crimp sleeve. It's what is used for proper termination of WBT speaker connectors that feature set-screws, and should be used for any other set-screw connector, for that matter. That said, even without a crimp sleeve, I would prefer a set-screw connector vs. a soldered speaker connector, and would never implement solder along with a crimped or other compression-type connector.
A soft-copper crimp sleeve is easy to implement for use with a set-screw connector, since all that is required is a light-duty crimping tool to create a trough for the set-screws to grab into, and each screw creates its own indentation to firmly secure the connector. My WBT Nextgen spades have never had an issue with loosening, and the fact that a crimp sleeve allows another modular connector to be swapped-out is a big plus.
When I bought a new amplifier with 5/16" binding posts, it was a big relief to simply swap-out 1/4" spades with 5/16" spades, and it only took minutes to get the job done.
