I'd say it's like a good/better/best situation.

Crimp connectors (decent quality) with split barrels = Good

Crimp connectors (good quality) with brazed barrels = Better
Something like 3M. The plastic around the terminal is also much higher quality, and won't split/crack when crimped

Crimp connectors (good quality) uninsulated, solder in, heat shrink over = Best

Longevity vs. your budget (money and time)
