For this reason I'm willing to make reasonable comprimises on all the advantages/disadvantages you mentioned, for connectors already in common use.

This, this, this.

Also, while many teams have Power Poles as an internal standard (3946 among them), I am not aware of any standard FRC parts which require/strongly encourage teams to use them. They do meet all the requirements (current capacity, well insulated, vibration resistant) and many "desirements) (modular, customizable, polarizable). They also have a great customer base outside of FRC (ham radio and R/C modeling, and probably others).
