BNC connectors are more commonly 50 ohms.

Just depends on what you specify when you buy the BNC connector. Just don't
try to mate a 75 Ohm BNC with a 50 Ohm BNC- same holds true for 75/50 type
N.
We recently built a high power 50--75 Ohm matching section for a CA
company. The unit had warnings that the output was 75 Ohm connector (their
choice). Got a call that they had destroyed the fingers on the 75 Ohm side
by screwing in a 50 Ohm mate. Very expensive mistake for them.

The pins are the same size in both flavors of BNCs.
