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.


Depending on what's needed, crimping is almost always going to be
faster and cheaper for a great many applications and will be "good
enough" for the life needed.
