That would be the ideal, but not always achievable. Crimped, or

I always feel *slightly* safer with soldered and heat shrunk, even
though I have a fairly good ratchet crimper.

Solder can be very good - so long as the joint is mechanically supported
well enough.

Crimps are easier to deploy in the field usually, and don't have the
mechanical support worry.
