I use both crimp on and the simple screw on types. For indoor, I use the screw on more often, mainly because they are faster to connect and can be re-used, which is important if you run the wire through small holes to go through floors and wires. Ie you can take off the connector, run it through the hole, then re-connect. I don't think either type is particularly waterproof. Many here use expensive waterproof connectors for outside, which I think are also screw on. They look nice, but I have so many connectors, I can't afford the expensive connectors. I just use crimp and screw on connectors, then usually wrap them with coax seal tar. However recently I've gotten lazy, and haven't even bothered with that.
