soldering materials

has anyone made a comparison between tin based solder vs silver solder vs copper solder ?

while on the subject of solder, what is the ideal intercae between connector and wire ?

is it solder, is it crimp, is it welding, any other method ?

Crimping (also called "cold welding") is superior to soldering. WBT, for example, recommend crimping whenever possible.

I crimp, then add a little solder, works for me.

Warning: Crimp at your own risk if the conductor is prone to oxidation. IE Copper.
