Depends really, there are high level RF locations where I might want a bit of extra loss in the cable. If you have a very low power solar UHF Repeater, you might want to put more loss on the Tx side. Cheap and the wrong type of coax make for a larger loss than you might initially expect. But there are cases where you want a bit of loss. In a typical ham repeater at a not high RF level site... you would normally want the best possible feedline on both sides of the duplexer. One must never "assume" there are rules in stone for all installations. s.
