In the aerospace industry our policy was to not use Teflon insulation
unless we needed its specific properties. In a PL-259 Teflon is
overkill. 

As I said, use it if you like and it will probably work ok, just try
to not be seduced by the "gee whiz" factor. Phenolic works fine and
does not cold flow.
