Crimp connectors work just fine when done properly, but I would not use
them on anything above 2M. You will find the compression type fittings
for larger coax and heliax superior to anything else for microwave work.

But most will probably suggest generally a good soldered connector the
best for most apps.

If you have the money, the best iron for soldering coax connectors
would be one such as made by American Beauty..... but very pricey. A hefty
Weller gun will suffice if funds are limited.
