I am currently using the H.C Rhino packs, which are coming with 5.5mm bullets, both female on the pack. I was using deans, but changed over, I agree with all of the above with regards to them being easier to use, BUT you have to not rush the connections when putting the flight pack in the model as you could hook up to the wrong lead, correct red/black heat shrink was my answer.

I have seen that set up lead to disaster for a number of my boat buddies. I always wire mine with the female on the positive (red hot female) and black on the negative.
Makes it hard to connect incorrectly. I color cod the red/black that plug together to form the 10S series with white heatshrink so I know those are the ones that get plugged together. Now think what fun it is to connect 4 5S packs in a 10S2P configuration with dual power leads (2 red + 2 black) to the ESC. Let's just say that it is best done without distractions!!!
