+1 on the solder flux paste, I use the stuff in the little round tin from Radio Shack, it works awesome for me. I just dip the tip on it before soldering and it makes solder flow WAY better.

Lately though I've been using crimped connectors rather than soldering - I use the welded 'uninsulated' crimps and a good crimping tool. I believe this makes a more secure connection that withstands vibration better than soldering, but I understand this is very subjective so there will be lots of opinions for/against soldering/crimping.
