When it comes to termination I tend to use eutectic solder when attaching RCA's and Banana plugs
For mains cables I crimp first and then solder a spade connector because I want to be certain the wire is not going to come out of the plug under any circumstances.
I also found it sounded the best as opposed to bare wire and crimp only.
I have tried both solder and screw mount for spades and bananas, but I now use a very specific Bananas that has to be soldered.
Eutectic solder is a solder made of 37 percent lead and 63 percent tin and is also called 63/37 solder. Eutectic solder melts at a single temperature, which makes it preferable to non-eutectic solder. It makes a superior joint.
I have compared it to 4% silver solder and prefer the eutectic solder.=- it makes a nicer joint
