The best connectors have a profile similar to the diameter of the wire. The reflections occur at impedance mismatches and the impedance of the connector is largely a function of the geometry. In an ideal world the wire and all the connectors would have the same impedance at 1Mhz and the terminations at each end would be 2X that impedance, nominally 50-60 ohms for CAN. Note that this is impedance, not purely resistance.
We have used PWM connectors and Molex connectors (for 20AWG wire) with zero issues running 9 Talons. Powerpole pins are overkill for the current and are larger than 20AWG wire - I would shy away from using them.
Good luck!
