Crimp or solder, I always solder, heat shrink will stabilize and help seal the connection.

If there is flexing of the wire near the connection I think a crimp is 
better due to the solder connection making the wire very stiff at the 
connection and the flexing will tend to break the wire at that point. The 
key to a good crimp connection is to use a good "industrial" crimper, not 
the one typically found on a wire strippers. FWIW

What is the best practice for electric connections, crimp or solder?
