It depends on which 7/8" Heliax you have. LDF5 requires an L5 connector, 
AVA5 requires either an A5 connector or AL5 connector.

The suffix needs to have a D in it for DIN, and either an M or F 
depending on your sexual orientation.

Positive Stop (PS or PSA at the end) connectors are good, but not 
critical. "One Piece" or "Ring Flare" (RPC) work fine also. Find a good 
deal and take advantage of it.
