Mike,  the BNC connector was designed for quick 
 insertion / disconnect and works very well in most applications.

However the Type "N" connector is much more robust and 
would be my choice for critical connections such as a 
Duplexer  or an Antenna  etc....

We use them all the time in the Telephone business for 
DS-3 connections.

Here is some history on the BNC connector...
