The less places for something to fail, the better. A solder joint is always going to be better than two solder joints connected with a bullet connector.

Also keep in mind that bullet connectors from batteries, individually, are only carrying the voltage from that cell. So in the case of the 811E, each bullet connector in the battery is carrying 4.2v from the battery.

I honestly don't know about bullet connectors anywhere else, I've never used them for anything but batteries. Everything else is a hard solder joint.
I've been running bullets since day one if you change when need there really isn't any issue buying quality connections is key as Randy stated some don't handle the power draw I add cause I take out my motor a lot for maintenance also if I want to change staters it makes for a easy job
