[FARC] Window Feed-through Panel Question(s)

Hey there FARCers: Couple of quick questions. Even though I'm a General
class ham, I only have UHF / VHF equipment currently; plan on HF sometime
in the future. Looking at the MFJ window feed-through panels. I have three
different UHF / VHF antennas, so I'll just use three of the SO-230 plugs on
the outside with a short length of coax on the inside as a poor-man's
switchbox.

Question is, what about when I go HF? What type of connectors do HF
antennas have? I'm thinking about the MFJ panel that has 3 SO-239s, a
balanced line, a random wire, and a ground connector. I don't want to have
to buy another of these when I DO go on HF, but I also don't want to sink
too much cashola into something I won't ever use.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas? Help?

If anyone out there wants to give me some advice on entering the world of
HF inexpensively (but not using CW), I'm ... all ears.
