Don't worry about doing both...  It leaves you that much more sure that you
won't lose connection and trust me... The electrons will forgive your soul
for doing both! :)

> You either crimp or Solder - not both

While it may be easy to prove that doing both is redundant, I see no reason
why 
one *can't* do both, provided you crimp before soldering.  I find it rather
odd 
to make such a firm distinction.

If I'm planning ahead and remember to bring the crimpers home from work,
I'll 
typically just crimp.  Otherwise, I just solder.  Sometimes, though, I'll
get 
picky and do both, such as on lines that will be carrying a fair bit of
power.
