I've pretty much standardized on Amphenol connectors.
It's worth paying a little more and having less headaches.

Good point Frank.
Amphenol specs leakage for their BNC connectors at 3GHz where they claim 55
dB. By comparison they claim 90 dB at 3 GHz for their type N connectors.
I've never felt the need for the additional shielding in the shack.
Of course these are Amphenol specs. Any other brand may have any other level
of leakage. As many have noted, the extra price of a good connector is saved
many times over chasing bad cable connections later.
