When done RIGHT, a soldered connection should be superior to a distribution block, although not noticeably. In a distribution block, the wires are pressed down against metal, whereas a soldered connection has the wired melted through the strands, leaving for a slightly better connection. 8 ga. wire is NOT hard to get a good connection through soldering. I've soldered both 8 and 4 ga. together so strong that I couldn't separate them when my friend and I had a tug of war with them. But regardless of whether a fused distribution block is used, the main wire should still be fused near the battery.
