Technically speaking, soldering creates a higher resistance connection but you won't notice a difference anyways. I would solder just so they are secure and won't come undone. I'm still twisting and taping lol.

I would solder them. You won't notice the minimal resistance the solder creates and you get a much more secure connection (if you know how to solder).

twist and solder then shrinkwrap is your best bet for longevity and least amount of resistance...
