Crimp terminals are generaly fine AS LONG AS you use the right crimp tool. 
It is essential that the
tool creates enough pressure to get an airtight crimp.
For high currents, crimping, and then soldering as well won't hurt, as long 
as the crimp terminal
surface is something that solder will wet well.
