My avionics guy refuses to use crimp only. His argument is, a crimp connection is only a friction connection, thus subject to failure. He does both crimp then solder, then shrink tube to seal the connection joint. He isn't cheap, but since I started using him, electrical related issues have gone away. His work is extremely tidy also.
