I have replaced UHF connectors with N connectors where I can, use nothing worse than RG214 or LMR400 for interconnects at my station, and have the interconnects as short as possible. I built many cables with exactly the connectors and lengths needed so I avoid adapters.
All of this is good EXCEPT that N connectors are NOT superior to good quality UHF connectors (Amphenol 83-1SP) for use on the HF bands. Yes, N-connectors are 50 ohm connectors, while UHF connectors are a bit off of that, but it simply does not matter below 50 MHz, and it matters very little below 200 MHz.
