(ET) cable terminals - was:Looking for a great deal on battery cables: Chck out this on e-b ay.

Which brings up a question I thought of yesterday...

What are the relative merits of using the ring terminal connections to 
the batteries vs. the clamp-on style (assuming you have 'bi' batteries)?.

I find:

Ring style:
- I need to periodically retighten my ring terminal connections.
- I can make them up easily (I have a BIG crimper)

Clamp
- Seems like it would offer a lower resistance connection
- I hate do-it-yourself clamps where the wire is pinched to the clamp 
with a plate and two bolts
- Is there a good source for made-up clamp cables where the wire is 
bonded into the clamp - or a DIY style?
