[Paddlewise] Stainless hardware (and aluminum)

So just one quick question on the mixing of stainless and aluminum.  When I
last replaced my worn-out rudder cables, I used stainless cable, but
connected it to my rudder using little aluminum sleeves that you loop the
cable through, then crimp to hold the cable tight.  Is this kind of
connection likely to fail prematurely?  (I actually did have one fail
already, but I assumed that was due to using a little too much force on my
crimper).  What would be a better way of attaching the stainless cable?
