Depends on what you are referring to. Some people just solder the Microtech harness into the stock harness, which I think is a total hack and a crazy thing to do.
I always use new connectors for things like the injectors and sensors but the coil connectors are hard to find. So in that case I add a connector to the stock harness which the Microtech harness then plugs into.
Now, as for soldering and crimping. A properly done crimp is very reliable but this requires a good crimping tool (not the $5 set from the auto parts store) and some practice. For most people, soldering and heat shrink (adhesive lined) is easier.
