Does anyone have an opinion as to whether a solderless joint will hold
up as well as a soldered copper joint? In which cases would you use
one or the other?

You don't want compression fittings behind the wall. Soldered joins are
pretty much fail proof when done right. You use other fittings when changing
materials, such as the chrome pipe to the toilet, or faucets. Learn to
solder and do the job right.
