Is it better to go with the packs that are hard case with the 4mm female bullets in them or buy the packs that come with the wires already soldered on and just put your own connectors on? Some of the packs are rated at very high discharge rates, but are the 4mm connectors rated that high as well?

Please fill me in.

You figured it out.
4mm plugs will not conduct as well as 5.5mm plugs.
Some of the high discharge rates are inflated, watch out for scams.

Hard packs with the bullets in the case are made for cars, they are for low amp draw or short bursts of high amp draw, Get packs that have at least 12g wire, preferrably 10g. My largest boats have 8g.
