I learned to install N connectors in the military as that is what all the UHF & SHF stuff used, and still prefer putting an N on than a PL-259 any day.  BTW: the HF & VHF all had BNCs and I prefer those over PL-259s also.

I use a lot of crimp type N connectors and like them, but just running 
the legal limit into the band edges on 160 or even 75 has cost me a 
number of them.

What I need are standard connectors to fit LMR-600 and that pretty well 
limits me to N and UHF.  Finding UHF connectors to fit LMR-600 has been 
a chore.  Some of the suppliers no longer even have LMR-600 cable or 
connectors listed. So far the only one I've found carrying them has been 
the wireman and he's out of stock.
