alex,
my past experiences with banana plugs were all good.
as to 1/4"  - they are, admittedly, more rugged, theoretically offering a 
longer lifespan, they offer (optionally) a built in switching function which 
some people like a lot and they can simplify grounding issues that can arise 
using banana jacks.
best,
