1.) I have a Dynon EFIS that requires a few resistors on some of the
sensor leads. What is the best way to connect the resistors? Is it OK to
crimp fast-on, butt splices, ring terminals, etc directly onto the
resistor itself and cover / protect everything with heat shrink?

Consider the techniques described in:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Homeless/Homeless_Components.htm
Hazards to functionality focus on robustness of the components.
Even tho your electrical requirements may be satisfied with say
a 1/4 watt resistor, you may wish to take advantage of the mechanical
robustness of say 1/2 or 1-watt resistors.

harness for the Dynon EMS. To connect the two units there are a couple of
pigtails that I could just butt splice together. Is this OK to do or
should I remove the wires / pins from one of the harnesses / D-Sub
connectors and crimp pins onto the pigtails of the other pre-fab'd harness
and pop those in in their place?

Here's a technique to consider when bringing ends of stray
wires together in a wire bundle.
