I'm using the plastic version of the Neutrik connectors for my servo power leads. No problems at all.
Of course, for our use, connectors are overkill (in a sense). Connectors are made to be connected and disconnected multiple times. These connectors are connected once when the machine is deployed and then left connected for the life of the machine (more or less). The only time I've disconnected them is when I needed to swap axes to do some trouble shooting. The Neutrik connectors do have a good feel to them They just "feel" reliable.
