+1 on not even looking at scotchloks. Bloody horrible bodge.

Clean wires, twist them together, sparing blob of solder. Heatshrink. Job jobbed, and it is IMO the most reliable joint.

When using spades I like to add a bit of solder into the crimp too. But not the wire outside the connector as this creates a brittle bit.
