I was taught that soldering is far better than crimp.
What's your thoughts?

While personal preference plays a large part in this choice, it is perhaps
worth noting that autombile and truck manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers,
and even aerospace industry, including the space shuttle builders among
others, all crimp rather than solder their wire connectors and terminals.

Your inclusion of truck manufacturers is definitely wrong. I
guarantee that Caterpillar crimps and solders all of the connectors
and terminals except where solder will prevent the terminal from
seating properly in its' housing. Caterpillar builds trucks.

I suspect your list may have included other manufacturers in error.
Let's see your guarantee in print. Future son-in-law is Cat srvice
specialist. Original wiring harnesses are crimped.
