For all the inline connections, the Wade connector the wiring companies offer is correct. Downside to replacing all the Wade connectors is price because there are a multitude of them and at 75 cents a terminal, it adds up.
The door switch tabs, I do not believe are quite the same. They are longer and not sure of the name. I made mine by using a different longer tab connector I got thru Amazon.
Yes to the buttons but also check and see if you need the phenolic "washers" under the buttons. Many of mine were soft and had deformed. I rebuilt most of my sockets using almost all the items RI wiring shows on that page. Not sure on your car but the only part I found that did not work on all the sockets in my car was the double hole phenolic washer with ears. My 47 had two sockets with a different orientation and the ears were not in the right spot. Had to reuse the old phenolic for those two sockets.
