I like screw terminals better if it requires parallel wiring but push for the lack of effort needed.

Push terminals are more convenient, screw terminals are more secure. I personally like strong push terminals as a compromise.

do you always have to throw in some random comment to make yourself feel better? to be quite honest i see that in most of your posts.

If we're talking about the terminals on the subwoofer basket itself, I don't mind a set of heavy duty push terminals...I haven't had a problem with them coming undone yet.

Push terminals for the back of speaker enclosures and equipment should be ripped off and burned, however...they're always too small, and don't provide enough holding power. Use a good set of 5way binding posts instead.

I like push terminals (on subs) myself because you never need to worry about them vibrating loose. One less thing to worry about in an already extensive install.
