Solder them. I'm not sure why some demand crimping only, and this is why not:

I always crimp them tight enough to not damage key hand/wrist usage, and then solder. Heat the joint after crimping then flow the solder.

I made a big mistake just ONCE crimping the piss out of connections and ef'd up my hand to the point of not being able to lift things even though my fingers worked fine. It was quite painful for months until it healed from not using it for anything heavy duty.

Just my hard learned advice to anyone because IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
