I've never been a fan of anderson power poles, I know some like them and 
they're sort of the standard.  I use the motorola plugs, the ones with 
one bare and one rubber covered connector.  I've used those for years. 
I have a friend who says he uses wire nuts, about as universal as you 
can get. <smile>  You can actually reverse the power poles as a friend 
of mine did one night while trying to plug stuff in under his dash and 
blew a buonch of fuses.  I admit they're sort of the standard, but I've 
been a rebel all my life anyhow..
