The ring lug IS the better connector; that's why VW abandoned this spade after 
a couple of years. The problem is in making a good crimp connection to the 
wire. You need to start with a GOOD ring lug, with plenty of beef to it, and 
use a good crimper, which probably none of us own. So you would really have to 
solder it in the end to be sure of getting a solid, lasting crimp.

Poorly done crimp connections are the bane of any electrical system.
