The only types that I have used (excluding the battery connectors) have been very shoddy; wires falling out, plastic crumbling, etc. Admittedly, this was years ago so I am hoping that newer versions are much better.
We use these as well as the 15A/45A versions when appropriate. The trick to them is that you really need the correct crimper, we've used that one for the past three years, and I can't recall anything really going wrong. We've found that generally the contact gets pulled out of the housing before the crimp fails.
