That's like asking 'what oil should I use, and do I need ZDDP?'.

I always solder, tape, and then shrink wrap. Lots of people say that's a hack and it will fail. It has never failed me. I like to do a good wrap with the two wires, I think there is actually a NASA approved warp if you search.

Butt splices with a proper crimp tool are also good. I like the shrink wrap to hide the mess and keep water out.

I have a soldered and shrink wrapped connection submerged in my pool 24/7 on my robot, it is fine.
