TurboT, I agree with lonfu on soldering wherever possible. Even the best crimps can rattle loose, but a good solder joint typically lasts very well. Also, a little heat shrink tubing over the solder joints is always better than tape.
It's a good idea to create a strain relief after repairs. See if you can add zip ties to the wires leading to the connectors, so that the connections don't have any stress.
