Well, for less than $1 shipped (from Asia) you can choose your poison! This pair has bananas on one side and alligators on the other.
I have no problems making a firm, solid contact using the alligator style to the TIU jacks. Additionally, though not the intended application, you can easily attach alligators to the track which would be quite the hat-trick with banana plugs.
The key is the strain-relief hole to loop the red/black wires thru so that the soldered-wire connections don't fatigue/fail over time.
And if you don't mind waiting for shipping from Asia, what appears to be the same set of 10 double-ended alligator cables is available for about 1/2 the price on eBay.
