Do not use solid THHN wire from the home store. Not only is it hard to work with because its stiff, but vibration will cause the copper to work harden & break.
SO would probably work, but I can't imagine it being cheaper than automotive wire. For a given wire gauge, finer strands = more flexibility and less likely to break.
Soldering connectors is a good idea, just don't get carried away with the amount of solder. Heat shrink tubing does a good job of sealing connections.
For what's probably a trivial difference in price for the small amount of wire you need, use the right wire and the appropriate terminals. You'll have a lot less trouble later.
