A person can bone a solder connection or crimp connection just as easily. Either done correctly should be a permanent connection. The issue is making sure it is done correctly.

In either case, the use of a good heatshrink to ensure that corrosion does not affect the exposed copper is critical to longevity. This is where 90% of long term failures on crimped connections comes from.
