It is best to have one piece no splicing.
Most of today’s coaxial cable is plated copper on steel or aluminum. The shielding on most is aluminum.
Cheapest the Television F type good for RG 58 , RG59 and RG6.
BNC Easy to use and fast to disconnect too upto 29 watts.
239 type harder to use , more costly and takes time to disconnect over 50 watts depending on the chart.

1) before connecting use Qtip and apply a very small amount of ANTI OXIDANT COMPOUND note some can give a electrical/resistance so keep to small aerial. On aluminum wire you use a lot but not on radio/antenna connections. .
2) Make the connection tie.
3) Apply silicon on out side let setup. Electric wiring has liquid for this.
4) Rap withe Rubber splicing tape used for electric wiping 3 or 4 layers
5) Last is electric vinyl tape 3 or 4 layers. Do not use a cheap tape.
