To judge wire gauge, a pair of wire strippers are the tool to use. Just cut the old wire, and strip off some insulation from the end. Then see which hole in the stripper matches up to the copper wire. (Wire gauge refers to the copper, not the insulation).
Good secure connections are easily made with solder and shrink wrap. Crimp connectors are quick and easy, but you need a quality ratcheting crimper. Anywhere moisture will get, you'll need the connectors with shrink wrap on their ends, but it is cheaper to solder and shrink, as those waterproof crimp connectors are expensive..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
