I would get specific power connector as a first priority because of contact resistance under high load. If it is going outside or is going to be exposed to dew or some for of moisture it is best for IP67 rating but the choice is entirely yours. Possibly make provision for IP67 in the future just in case the system breaks down from the moisture.
If the system manages to stay well for a long time then the choice is just right, otherwise just change the connector when then break down.
The only thing I can think of is to seal the cable that joins to the socket so that moisture does not form on the cable itself. Copper strands act like a capillary tube and once moisture gets down there you will need to change the entire cable.
For inline connections I also use Anderson connectors as well.
