I have used many N connectors, mostly on hardline but also on coax and I
never had a problem. I used the conventional style ones on RG-213 and they
were not difficult to install. Perhaps with some coax the center pin may
retract, however I never experienced this problem with Belden 8267. I also
agree that N connectors have a higher power rating.

I use the newer N connectors that install much like a PL-259. They are high
quality and I've never had a problem. I also use the Andrew Heliax N
connectors with the captive pin and have never had a problem.
All my outdoor connections use N connectors. I use UHF connectors on all
indoor connections. I have to disagree that the Pl-259 is a better
connector. It's not waterproof and overall power capability is lower than
with N connectors.
