I've always just used feed-thru capacitors for a permanent link and an 
amphenol-type multiconnector for removable panels and to a separate power 
supply.  If i use a multiconnector I use a .01 bypass capacitor as you suggest. 
 I don't recall any problems as a result of this

My homebrew amp has 3 compartments - the RF compartment, an under-chassis 
compartment for the input and control circuitry, and a front subpanel area for 
metering and control knobs and switches.

What is the preferred method for routing control leads from the under-chassis 
compartment out through the subpanel to the various meters/knobs/switches.   A 
grommetted hole with bypass caps on the inside?  Feed-thru caps?

The Orr handbook (23rd ed. p.12-10) has a comparison diagram of various lead 
filtering setups.  The most bang-for-buck appearing to be a single .01uF 
Sprague hi-pass feedthru cap.
