We know that the original PL259 is an excellent connector if it is

Like solder connectors, buy good ones and a good crimper. At over a 100
connectors in an SO2R set-up I'd hate to have to go back to the solder type.

I've given up on the traditional solder-type PL-259s. Now I use the crimp on
type and have never had a failure. The crimper is expensive but well worth
the time and hassle saved. I got both crimper and connectors on eBay. There
are many sizes so be sure you get the right ones.
