Is it me, or does the ones with the screws look less cheap?

WRT Audio connections, low mass is usually better, even if they look cheap.
Sudden changes in "sectional density" can cause issues.
For speaker connections, these tube connectors are a good example of a smooth transition from one piece of wire to the next.

These "Wago-style" connectors have taken over the junction box wiring market.

I won't comment on whether they are any good for that application, as I am not qualified.
In general though, most innovations designed to make a professional's job easier, faster, and more foolproof will increase the number of ways that an amateur can screw it up.

As far as I am concerned the following link will take you to just about best banana plugs money can buy. They are aggressive for a tight fit and can be soldered.
