I received my 2 mm banana plug samples (not the screw type) and it turns out that they work way better than the taper pins I was considering. Perfect fit for the rivets I will be using. They have a much nicer feel when inserting and they seat better as well.

They are a little more expensive at about 50 cents per plug verses 30 cents per for the tapers, but well worth it in my books.
