The JST-XH Plug is the closest you will ever come to industry standard when it comes to balance plugs and connectors. I didn't like the idea of just leaving the old connector on there while working on the other wire, it was in pretty bad shape. I like the idea of "smart" batteries like my drones, they can be set to discharge themselves to storage voltage after x days if you don't use them. The EC3 connectors have a secure snap-lock system that will prevent accidental disconnection and won't let you connect it backwards, reversing the polarity. Once you have made sure a connector can give your model the required amount of current, then you would need to decide on the style.

In the RC hobby, the EC3 connector is often used in larger or more demanding setups, such as in large-scale planes or high-performance cars. I know in the video you cover it with some tape, but I'd just rather be overly cautious and not have to worry about tape. An integrated microchip allows each Smart G2 battery to save vital information such as battery brand, chemistry, cell count, capacity, number of charging cycles, number of discharges, C rating, battery temperature, and internal resistance.
