Takes longer, but you always know what you have.Butt connectors can be fine. I like to make sure the wires reach almost through the other side so they are mechanically and electrically meshed, and not just bridged by the tube of the splice. It also means that each wire is pinched in two places.As said, T-taps are not reliable, and can actually casue issues in the long run. Crimp caps can work well, but are not visually a joy if you have a lot to do. If using them and in multiples, not a bad idea to zip-tie the wires as a bundle to act as strain relief.</blockquote>
