I'm connecting 10 awg to 16, for testing I just used knockoff wago but I don't trust it long term

As long as you’re not wiring up a bridge you should be fine

Stranded or solid wire?

stranded. I was thinking of just putting the ends together in a ferrule

Heh, fer-rule

I’m not an electrical engineer but that should work fine!

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

Wow, thanks for that.

I can see why it would be so strong. Plus it makes a joint that's not terribly bulky. Add some heat shrink and you're done.
