Default End insulators -- purpose?

Do I need a dogbone or egg insulator at each end of my dipole, or can
I just splice the antenna wire to the nylon braid that runs to my
trees?

Is the answer different for, say, under 100 watts vs 1,000 watts? HF
vs. VHF?

I would probably put a small nylon thimble in the nylon braid to
provide a decent radius for the wire end.
