I used JST XH crimp terminals. The "official" JST crimp tool is indeed expensive (200-300€ or more), but after writing in the thread jaytee referred I did find a tool that works with the JST XH terminals, and cost only £20 (from a UK seller). The tool is called "SN-01BM". Naturally it's not as good as the official JST crimp tool; for example the crimps get a bit stuck in the jaws after crimping, and you have to use a bit of force to pull them out, while with the official JST tool they just fall out. Likewise the crimped terminals' fit into the housings is not as perfect as with the official tool. But in my estimate the cheap too is good enough. JST XH crimp terminals and housings are available on eBay.
