in the beginning I also had these screw terminals... Sometimes they are just perfect! - BUT now I switched to some jst xh 2.54 headers...
I bought a set at Ali:

You can have good connection results only with the rigth crimping pliers - You have to take this into account...
Best regards
Well, in the beginning, (4 years ago) I started by using those ones too, but later I completely switched to the screw versions. The main reason is that to make the connector, first you have to pass te cable trough the hole of an outside box, and them build the connector using the correct pliers. Doing this when we are outdoor on a roof, its not always easy. By other side, if later you decide to remove the cable (to install another), you have to cut the connector or disassemble it as usually it don't pass through the box hole.
The only disadvantage I see, is that you must always be very careful when doing the connections.
Just my 5 cents
