My BMS is an Orion. When I first bought it, I was still back in the frame of mind where a bms is just a piece of equipment that kept the pack top balanced, and had some high and low voltage cut offs. It took me a couple builds to fully grasp what an Orion does, but I am hooked now.
I have tried other crimp shapes, but have not done 8 sides. I messed with 6 sides, but it does not work the way I like with only one linear plane where the dies slide together. I have also done a mirror image of what I posted above on the bottom side as well so that there are two anvil indentations across from each other. The deeper crimp that I posted works out best, and the sides of the crimp actually get squeezed in a little as the anvil forces the terminal to the bottom of the receiving portion, since I made the bottom receiver of my tool have a very slight v shape.
