Crimps. Crimps. I hate crimps. Never use crimps. Just leave some extra wire past the anchor so you can trim off the ends later if you need to.
Oil is good, grease is better.

After my couple of pokes with frayed cable I couldn't imagine not crimping. But I'm a woose (how do you spell woose?).

I'm a crimper also. You could solder the ends but after being poked and scratched, and having expensive socks ripped, I always use end caps. You can tuck the cable ends away but somehow they always seem to find you anyway.
