I use this one:

This is electrically quite nice, but needs serious strain relief if you're putting much stress on it (heavy coax, a long run between supports, trees that sway in the wind). When I've used them, I've added an egg insulator above this one, clamped each conductor to secure it mechanically, then looped the conductor down to the contacts, where I clamped them to the contacts with copper split-bolt connectors. I also tied the two insulators together with rigging rope.
