If I were doing anything serious at VHF/UHF, I'd be using hard line. 
With a QTH on the wrong side of the ridge, I don't do anything serious 
above 6M. There, I operate nearly all WSJT modes legal limit, and run 
7/8-in hard line. (There's virtually no CW or SSB on 6M in NorCal). I do 
have a couple of first quality type-N connectors in the run for the 
rotator loop and on a jumper to the UHF connector on the entry arrestor 
panel, and a UHF jumper inside the shack to the KPA1500.

And FM is significantly more demanding than FM with respect to power 
handling.
