This topic has been discussed before, but I did not find one dedicated to terminations, so I'm posting this here. Mods please move to an appropriate board or existing thread if better options exist.

Here is a video by Gene DellaSalla and his opinion on the topic, briefly.

I agree with him, as I have found spades to be the most unreliable due to them loosening up over time.
