End feed is more inspectable - you can see the ring of solder around the

Same with yorkshires.

However. With constrained access, solder ring is easier.

I don't see how - if you can get a blowlamp in you can also the solder.

Flux (a light smear) should always be used.

I wouldn't worry about it being only a light smear. It's more important
to use enough. Excess can be wiped off afterwards with a damp cloth. I
favour an aggressive type like EverFlux, so keep it off your skin as much
as possible. Being water based any excess inside the tube can be flushed
out before commissioning.
