I would never crimp outside connections because there is a bigger opportunity to get grime/debris/mud/etc in there.
Always solder and heat shrink.... stronger connection and weather tight... its also much cleaner/nice looking...

Actually solder connections on a wire will cause it to fail faster on a vehicle. Vibration is the killer here. There ends up being hard points right at the ends of the solder. Use a crimp properly compressed, then heat shrink tubing with sealer/glue over the joint.
