While power poles aren't natively latching, we use the little orange clips that powerwerx sells. They're easy to install and have been very robust for us. My only other complaint with power poles is that the crimp doesn't grab the insulation (only the wire) so pull-out can be an issue. We make sure to tug-test every crimp and prefer the 45a contacts for all but the smallest wires as they seem to grab the wire better.
