Why 100R? If using a 74xxx logic part as the driver is has a maximum drive current. 100R limits current in case of a short to ground or 5V supply to only 50mA It is about the lowest value resister i'd want to use
If you need 50 ohm output them go with an small RF amplifier or a transistors driver. These can drive a 50R load without burning up.
