I just installed one of the duplexers on my repeater for 2 meters and 440, no problems as of yet, coverage is the same. This is one with the pigtails.

I guess that could be a problem, but I've had pretty good luck with mine. If they are kept in a controlled environment so the coax doesn't pull in water, they should be OK. If you're really concerned about it, you can go with a pigtailless model.
