Re: Spade connectors
Not overly fond of spades in general, especially the typical red/yellow/blue types. Pretty much all are crap really, and yes pretty much everything from China of poor quality
But you could maybe try this sort of thing, adhesive lined heat shrink connectors. I've never ordered from this place or used them specifically myself though. Although I have used other similar style connectors on occasion

Or other option is use a non insulated type, which at least allows you a direct crimp with the tool, and then use some coloured heat shrink over it.

Or again you can do non insulated, with these little clear sleeves over them.

Re: Spade connectors
I buy mine from RS Components. Generally the RS Pro ones are OK, but to be 100% sure, get them from a good brand (anything other than RS Pro), and they'll be good.
Get the correct crimp tool which should cost you about £40.
