Thanks for the ideas All. Still considering what is best for me but I’ll give these ideas some thought. Interesting that it’s my new speaker’s terminals that are looser with bananas…. They are not falling out loose but you don’t have to apply much pressure to insert them.
Bananas vs Spades - for Jumpers?
I know it's well established that spades are the best when given the choice. But I'm wondering if that applies to jumpers too, when you would need to have two spades on a single speaker terminal - one spade from the speaker cable and one from the jumper?
I have Nordost Valhalla 2 jumpers with bananas on one end and spades on the other. I did this because my prior B&W 802 D2 speakers didn't tolerate two spades on one terminal all that well. But I've since upgraded to Audiovector R6 Arrete speakers and the terminals would easily accommodate two spades on one terminal. I wouldn't bother asking this question, if it weren't for the fact that the bananas are so much looser in my Audiovector terminals than they were for my B&W's.
So I've pretty much answered my own question, I think, but I am wondering what others have chosen for jumper terminations.

@ozzy I didn’t realize that. I will look into it; thank you. Update: hmmm, I see that they could be expanded, as they are a wraparound shape and hollow in the middle and open on the end, but to expand them evenly I’m not sure what type of tool I could use... I do like the idea of simply tightening them up but I would want to do so "properly".
