Also,
One might want to consider local climate. Here in central PA where we are
known to have weather changes, I used an 'N' type connector since it was
generally accepted by the military. However, because of the aforementioned
weather conditions, the 'receiving end of the connector expanded and created an
intermittent connection. After that episode, I used nothing but SO-239/PL-259's.
My nickel's worth.

This depends on the mode and frequency. SSB causes considerably less I^2
x R heating in conductors than RTTY. For years, when jammed, I ran 14 on
40m with Type-N connectors, sans-grief. By accident, I ran 6 to Type-BNC
on 160m - again, 'no-problema'. With a DC hi-pot, either Typs N or BNC
break down at c. 4kV -- which @50-ohms is a whole bunch.
Type C breaks down at over 5kV, and it has lower-R contacts than the
above. It is bayonet-mount for easy on/off.
Type-UHF needs drain holes cut in the coax jacket to let rain water out.
For >15k out, Type-7/16 DIN is in.
