I used to splice everything in the winters when I had time. A tight eye in a climb line is great. If you're mostly srt then it's not so important. Really good if you do alot of crane work.
Rigging wise, I prefer knots but sometimes it's much faster to use a piece of hardware (especially with loop runners).
If you're worried about knots decreasing strength I think you're pushing the rigging system to hard. 5:1 for static or 10:1 for dynamic are good factors to stay within so that knot shouldn't be of question.
