Spade vs. banana plug

I found that spades tend to get loss over time. A good tighten is required here and there. Banana plugs, especially the spring type, never get loss.
So, since I use only banana plugs.

Spade, banana, unterminated.  

Paper, rock, scissors.  

Read, set, Go!

Depends on if you want best sound over the long haul - low mass, gas tight spades give you that.

Spade is 10 microseconds slower in removal from speaker lug. Possibly aggravating arthritis from the twisting motion in the hands that many of members have.

Studies have shown cryogenic versions do not have any benefit.

An exhaustive series of comparisons seems to be in order, but because spade lug/banana connections always seem located in the part of the components least easily reached, I'll just let somebody else give me the lowdown.
