Stranded or solid wire?
stranded. I was thinking of just putting the ends together in a ferrule

Heat shrink is my go-to for permanent work. If it's really important, melt some solder on it, then heat shrink it.
A name brand Wago would go a long way. They're quality connectors as long as the environment is appropriate
