I think I will stick with crimp because of doubt of solder melting in operation.

I'm not actually sure it's an approved method of solder jointing... Where Lenny when you need him?

But there again the regs only state

526.3
Every connection shall be accessible for inspection, testing and maintenance, except for the following:
(iv) A joint made by welding, soldering, brazing or appropriate compression tool.
