I prefer the yellow and red 3M rangers but also use the Ideal tan Twisters. I use orange wire nuts for fixtures and dimmers. Grey and blues as needed. The Wago push-in connectors work great for ballast changes. I do not pre-twist but tighten my connectors enough to twist the wires. If you were to remove one of my connectors you would think I pre-twisted the wires. I gave up twisting connectors by hand several years ago. I either use a hand driver that looks like a "speed" screw driver or use an adapter in the cordless drill. The 7.2V Makita drills work great for this and for installing devices. I do not tape my connectors. I will also add that standard practice in my area is to pigtail everything.
