Soldering leads on their connectors or just set screw?

This is the proper way to do it, according to the manufacturer:

It's important to have the right size welding cable depending on the connector. Worst scenario is to take a cable that is too thin for the connector and just screw it down without any sleeve around the wires. Then there is only a small number of strands that are carrying all the current. As you use the cable these small wires break of one by one. In the end it's all 'bout having a good electrical connection betwean the wires and the connector.
