Every year on various forums this subject seems to come up at least twice.
Every year the question is always answered by experts who always agree:
If you’re using your rig in an F-14 – crimp.
For home use – solder.

Hi Tom
You make a good point. I say offer both and let the market decide.

Hi David,
Let me play the Devil's Advocate and offer a thought about soldering antenna
wire. Seems to me that the practice of soldering the wire loops at the end
insulators of a wire antenna, as suggested in the ARRL Antenna Handbook for
example, could result in the wire breaking prematurely
I worked on the F-106 for 4 years and never saw a connection on a connector
that wasn't soldered.

Subject: [Elecraft] Crimped connectors
Only to make a point, not an argument...I worked for 30 years at Grumman and we
built most of the Navy's aircraft, which are subject to a highly corrosive
environment...All connections, thousands of them, were crimped using Stakons,
the trade name for those little red, blue, and yellow terminal
crimped connections
seems pretty effective.
