Talon SRX CAN Connectors

What suggestions do you have for CAN connectors between Talon SRXs?

Last year we soldered all of the CAN connections. It took some time, but the CAN network was rock solid. We also did not have to change a Talon (knock on wood!).

This year, we've started using these latching polarized connectors from Hansen Hobbies. In some early testing, we found some drop outs on the CAN network. After many hours of testing we replaced a few connectors and the network seems OK.

I can imagine that much of the problem with the connectors is not the connectors themselves, but rather proper crimps on the pins. In any case, there's room for error that I am looking to remove.

What connectors are you using for your CAN?
