I honestly think these things are made to be more important than they are. I used to run great planes 2mm bullet connectors on my motor wires/motor. Never noticed a difference since switching to hardwiring. I've also ran 16 ga wire for a summer and not had a problem. Sure bigger is better, hardwiring is even better, but they will all work. I prefer hardwiring, but only since buying a nice soldering station that makes the work easy to do. Honestly brushless motors are so little maintenance, it's not really a bother to just leave them hooked up and unsolder them now and then to clean them out.
