Time for me to point to my favorite treatise on crimping vs soldering:

http://www.dimebank.com/misc/soldered_connections.html

(These days, I crimp, solder the lug end but don't let the solder
flow all the way to the wire end, and use heat shrink to prevent
flexing. If there is any chance it will get moist, I put hot melt
glue under the heat shrink!)
