What do you guys do for replacing electical connectors? Generic auto parts store fittings or is there a recommended source?

I solder every connection, I don't rely on a crimp only. I like to put a piece of shrink tube on the wire, lightly crimp on connector, then solder it and slide the shrink tube over the solder and shrink it over the spot.That looks to be how all the original connections are done on these cars. Make sure to get electronic solder and flux to avoid corrosion.
