Unless you are running 10kW plus on high duty cycle modes or 
you just want to impress people, I'd suggest you just use a 
good quality UHF connector. A good quality UHF connector 
will handle 10kW and never break a sweat.

For larger amps an EIA flange or DIN is OK.

At 5kW I think anything other than a UHF is a waste of time 
and money.
