Default Solder or crimp ??

True. Both can be easily screwed up. All those pins in a D-connector
are crimped and I've seen 'em last decades. OTOH, I'll solder the
lugs to my car or golf cart battery. Big stranded cable crimps are
prone to corrosion, more so than small stranded wire. As always, the
correct crimper is a must. Those Amp pin crimpers can be damned
expensive, but they do the job.
