I prefer the pre built replacement with the end already on it. It's just easier and quicker install. I just had to replace the one on my car trailer, it was having an issue staying in the plug, after inspection the little tab on the moulded end wore out and the cable had seen a good hard 10 years of lift with cracks and other issues.
As for solder vs. butt connector. I go with the connector every time, but I dont use the standard ones you find sitting in a 4 dollar box in walmart. The ones I use are meant for weather resistance and heat strink plus has adheasive to keep the whole thing together. Been using it for years with no issues of corrosion or splices failing.
