[Elecraft] Antenna switch question

Currently I physically change coax lines when switching the antenna from
one HF rig (K3) to the other HF rig (TS480). Of course it is fool proof
when it comes to making a transmit error. That said, I'd like to use a
coax switch for this purpose. Years ago I did this often, however, rigs
were less complex and sensitive back then - so I trusted simple coax
switches. I do not run rigs simultaneously on different antennas and
bands the operation is very simple.
Question is: What coax switches are recommended for this job and what db
isolation should I be looking for?
I do recall that in the USAF - all antenna switching at "listening
posts" was done with patch cords and panels. No switches. That was in
the days of the R390.
Thanks,
