Am switching to EC5 (F3A Unlimited has) as they've been highly recommended to me by several. Problem with them is that they are difficult to separate but a Russ Shavitz came up with a great tool to perform this by using a slightly modified snap ring plier tool. He got his from Harbor Freight for a couple of $.
Using MPI Deans soldering couplers make it very easy to get proper wire termination on Deans connectors (solder wire to coupler first, then attach coupler to Deans terminal and solder)

There are also 'add ons' for Deans which make them easier to assemble/disassemble.
Some examples...
