Soldering VS Disconnects on a patchbay

[GothicV]

Which has the better electrical connection? I'm currently looking at wiring 104 microphone jacks each with 3 wires [26 inputs, 26 outputs, and a snake to run from the wall to my equipment rack with 26 lines in it]. I'm not sure if it's a better electrical connection than disconnects though - the disconnects I have are pretty tight, there's an awful lot of touching going on there.

If all your disconnects are gold (pins and sockets) then I would feel okay with no soldering. Of course, a bad solder joint is the worst of all

If you already have the disconnects, and they are of good quality, I would also use em. Soldering is a good connection, but if you have a bad solderjoint it can be much more of a task to troubleshoot IMO. Although I am partial to solder out of stability.
