The 8AWG wires are hard to get into EC5's IMO - tried them last time, if only they had come with 10AWG or smaller, would have been better. I may have been doing something wrong, but that was my experience with 8AWG. Otherwise, EC5's are great to solder in, just make sure you have a pool of solder in the sockets, if you know what I mean.
agreed, the 8AWG is a PIA to soldier, just have to use the biggest iron you can get your hands on.
the "C" rating is the discharge, these batteries will put out 175 amps (5000 x 35)

I'm using EC5 on my 8AWG wires. I just don't tin the wires before inserting or they won't hit. Just put solder in the bullets and heat it up. Then inserts the wire and you're done. They hold up good
