It's worth exploring ebay / alix to see the range of options.

There are 3-pin varieties called the MR30, MR60, MT30, MT60 (flat and triangular respectively), there are XT90 (and others) with spark-limiting resistors built in, there are variants of connectors with balance terminals built into the main connector (which I predict will eventually be the future, since balance leads are a messy weakness of modern batteries in higher cell counts).

Most interesting to me there are more connectors being released with screw-mountings on the female side. I've been using the MR30s to provide a detachable link between ESC and RX (in 1/8 scale) so I can easily remove the entire ESC/battery tray together for cleaning. They're more reliable than JST and provide a more solid connection.

You can wait/hope for them to become real standards, or just pick the best connectors and standardize across your own fleet. Why wait?
have you got a link on these screw connectors? Ive been using this style on motors for years but my favorite has been discontinued and I need a replacement.
