Earthing of SWA

Ben22
Just trying to see people's opinions on the earthing of a SWA, usually I will. Use the generic banjo but I'm starting to think is this needed and have sometimes had to use a Bush and coupler to then connect my swa into a DB or accessory if space is tight, I'm yet to try the pyranaha nuts which I think will be better, 

Im just widnering if the banjo is really needed if a good solid connection can be made and verified

    Just want to be clear I'm not trying to get out of using banjos more trying to get my head around, "it's just what you do" so it kinda begs the question if the gland plate isn't removable then is it really required, and at times when connecting up say and armoured to a socket outlet does it really need a banjo at both ends, I accept if its 2 core not really alot of choice but that in itself poses a problem if the connecting box is on the small side
