Default Battery plugs, etc.

The 15A PowerPoles are excellent for use in a glider. You'll find all the Williams Soaring fleet have them, so they can't be TOO bad.
Heavy connectors aren't necessary. I use XLRs at work, but they get thrown, stepped on, pulled hard, etc. Doubt you'll do that to your glider electrics. Over time and with turbulence in flight, heavy connectors will stress glider wiring.
Have a look at the RigRunner power distribution systems, which use Anderson PowerPoles. Very tidy.
