Compared to anything else I have found Weather Pak connectors to be far and away better than anthing else. They have a range of pins to 12 AWG wire. 20 amperes will make the pin connects warm. They are weather-proof but not submersible. 3 sizes of conductors.
Nylon body "RC" power connectors are also good. Gold plated terminals. But soldering knowledge is a must and heat shrink tubing is required.
COIL CORD would be my choice for extendable action but by design the coils require 10x the room as the outside diameter of the jacket.
I have twin shielded wire in Quicksilver. Soldered. 18-AWG. Over 30 years old never an issue. Molex is fine for electronics where there is a fear of damaging the component itself. I consider these connectors as well as Hirose connectors to be inferior in fragility and corrosion vulnerability except for pricey gold pins.
