Factory crimp style is pretty good. Replace as it gets older and show wear is all I would do.

The crimp style shown in the pic is the standard connector you can buy at any auto shop. And they are a pain in the butt to get a good connection with. Difficult as heck to "crimp", to small to get a heavy gauge battery wire in and almost always unreliable.

Best over all solution? Buy a completed cable from a manufacturer. Otherwise, solder, heat shrink tubing is about the only YOU are going to get it right!
