I bought AKEOIL Cable Lug and Heat-Shrink Kit as part of my camper van equipment.

Keeping Bolted Wire Ends Distinct from in-Line Joins
I prepared connections and cable routes during the roof-device wiring work.
I brought the light leads and camera cables toward the entry boxes.
My broader electrical purchases included ring-style cable lugs and heat-shrink tubing.

My Takeaway from This Job
A ring lug provides a bolted end, while a butt splice joins leads in line. Among these three lug kits, the useful comparison is the selection of wire-entry barrels, ring openings and accompanying tubing.
Compare the cable-entry barrel and the ring opening separately.

Cable barrel and stud opening
A lug assortment is easier to use when the cable size and stud opening are recorded together. The tubing is a separate finishing component around the cable end, rather than a substitute for identifying the terminal. For a van equipment board, prepare a connection list that follows each lead to its destination and leaves room for the finished lug. That list can then be compared with the actual assortment before cable ends are prepared. My purchase remains the AKEOIL kit described above.
Record the cable-barrel size and the stud-hole size. Keep the tubing size as a separate part of the termination record.

Two Alternatives to Compare
TKDMR and Haisstronica offer other lug-and-tubing assortments. Their included barrel and ring sizes define the range of cable-end combinations available.
