Your email came through as one big block so I'm not going to bother quoting.

1.  Don't use Commscope/Andrew AL connectors on RFS.

2.  D01K "Premium" connectors have better PIM performance, but there's no
reason to need them for your non-duplex or non-multi-carrier installation.
For your intended use, I'd stick with older versions like 072, especially if
you like the "longer finger" design of the Commscope connectors, although I
don't believe your concerns are warranted if the connectors are properly
installed.  Keep in mind that the current flow is on the *outside* of the
center conductor, not the inside, so having more "depth" inside the center
conductor as far as contact goes doesn't buy you anything.

3.  Integral weatherproofing in the form of O-rings at both the interface
and connector body is "a good start" but it isn't a replacement for real
external weatherproofing.
