IF you have the proper crimping tools to be used, then crimp only, otherwise, soldering the exposed portion of the wires will just heat the wires and spades, loosening the crimp and the solder joint won't be very good, because a mostly good crimp will keep the solder from flowing into the crimp portion of the joint.

If you are going to crimp, do it right, if you are going to solder, do not try to crimp, leave the spade legs open and solder the wire while it is wrapped around the spade lug central spine, and then trim excess wire and then gently bend the spade legs over.

With a good crimp. you can cover with HS or even the adhesive lined HS if you can find the teflon based type. Just don't over heat the crimp joint area.
