[Amps] SHV Connectors & Coax

I have read the postings concerning the best connectors to use for routing high voltage from the PSU to the RF Deck.
 
So far looking at the available parts from Newark (www.newark.com) I have found 15 parts that reference "SHV".
 
Can someone give me some guidance as to what models I should use?  I need to get 3kV or so from the PSU to the RF deck.  I'm guessing I'll need two bulkhead connectors (one with a socket for the PSU and the other with a pin for the amp).  Also, I'm guessing I'll need two connectors to make the wire run.
 
Also, after reading all the posts about coax, etc., I'm even more confused than before!  If I'm going to use these fancy SHV connectors, what wire/coax should I use?  Does that have any impact on which connectors I'd choose?

Thanks for any comments and further clarification of previous posts.
