[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8923732, member: 690458"] It depends on the gauge of wire and what the wires are for. I never use t-taps. They are very unreliable. For 10 gauge, and up, I use butt connectors to streamline things, but crimp caps if I have the space. Crimp caps offer a more reliable connection due to less crimping points. If it is for an alarm, I will solder the connections for the best reliability. I use all nylon coated connectors. If they are heavier gauge that is used for 20 amps, or higher, I will use screw down type connectors or solder them. Bigger than 10 gauge, I will solder or use screw down connectors. There have been a few times I used copper butt connectors, but I put a little solder on the joints to help.
