After decades of messing about with cheap crimp connectors and cheap coax, I recently bit the bullet and bought a 500 ft roll of tri-shielded RG-6, and a compression fitting kit with cutter. I've used maybe half the roll already, rewiring much of the unreliable work I did in the past, plus new runs for TV (nearly 100 ft) and FM (another almost 100 ft), and feel that it was money well spent. The tools (cutter and fitting compression tool) will last forever, and the result is solid and (I feel) reliable. Not that you'd need 500 ft, but by the foot it's cheaper than shorter lengths, and I'll use it all sooner or later. The fittings are similarly more money than cheap crimp fittings, but the result is outstanding.
Just sayin'.
