Default Connecting from imperial to metric copper pipes ?

...
Is there a conventional way to join new 12mm copper pipes to old

imperial
1/2" ?
Is the difference too small to worry about ?
Would compression be better than soldered?
Opinions/wisdom welcomed

15mm to 1/2" you can use the same Yorkshire fitting *
22mm to 3/4 you need an adaptor fitting
28mm to 1" you can use the same Yorkshire fitting


(* I wouldn't recommend endfeed as the 15mm socket is a tad tight on
the 1/2" pipe so nice that the solder is already in there)
