[Elecraft] why mix rf connector types within the product, line?

In my experience, quality BNC connectors properly installed are very 
reliable.

Cheap (e.g. Chinese) BNC connectors are not reliable, and should be avoided.

I have no experience with BNC connectors on large cables such as RG8, 
but I would be concerned about stress.

For example, I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND the 25' or 50' cables with BNC 
connectors on the end that are sold by Buddipole.

I use UHF outside and BNC inside, but am planning to see if I can 
reliably install type N connectors, and if I can I will probably use 
them instead of UHF.
