In my experience, quality BNC connectors properly installed are very reliable.

Cheap (e.g. Chinese) BNC connectors are not reliable, and should be avoided.

I have no experience with BNC connectors on large cables such as RG8, but I would be concerned about stress.

For example, I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND the 25' or 50' cables with BNC connectors on the end that are sold by Buddipole.

I use UHF outside and BNC inside, but am planning to see if I can reliably install type N connectors, and if I can I will probably use them instead of UHF.
