Not sure if you ever actually crimped wires with a real crimper, but it is ridiculously easier and much, much faster to crimp wires the solder. The only reason it is "better" is because you can remove the ring terminal by just reheating the soder. Just an FYI. Really it just depends on what you prefer. Soldering IMO just normally looks better if done right.
It doesn't take that long to solder... lol.
