Well, being a ham, I'm using the FSJ1-50 because it's nicely flexible
(way better than the LMR-400) and I have a ton of it on hand.

I had to compromise here a bit too, some are plated connectors, and
all of them are soldered. I did the soldering, and I'll stand behind
it. I'd use all silver connectors if I was having any luck finding
them.

Well, I have a power amp that came with BNC, and my VHF cans are UHF
connectors.. What's a fella to do..?

No, I'd agree there. I don't have any 214 on hand, nor connectors to
use it with. I did have connectors that worked nicely with the FSJ1-
50. Once you have "enough" shielding, any extra is overkill.
