I'm looking to buy a BNC Female to Mini UHF Male or a BNC Female to SMA Male. Which sites and brands are reputable and which should I stay away from?

Most of the adapters for sale these days are OK, but it depends on the use you plan to use them for.
If it is for just a receiver system, it probably doesn't matter. The small amount of loss that any adapter injects is minimal. You will be hard pressed to notice it. If you had the test equipment to measure the loss, it would be in the range of 0.1 db or so.
Now if your going to use them for transmitting, you may need to be concerned at the higher range of frequencies. By this I mean UHF and above. The material used for the center insulation is important at the high end of frequencies. It effects the SWR on the antenna system. The best selection is Teflon, but you pay for it.
As for brands, I try to stay neutral on the different manufactures. There are 2 that stand out, but again I try to stay neutral. Keeps me out of trouble that way.
I doubt you will be able to find much better quality than these.

Thanks for all the replies and info. Looking at amphenolRF and they have many. I have a couple questions if you don't mind.
1- why is the end of BNC Female so big and have the threads on this one?

2- of the ones at the link below, which should I go with? Is one on the list for receive only and if so, what tells you that cause I'm not seeing anything that stands out.

Thank you both very much! They don't seem to have BNC Female to Mini UHF Male so I'll look around and see what I can find from other makes. May post what I find here to see if you all recognize any.
Thanks again all! Much appreciated!

That will work for RX too? In your earlier reply you said them for anything RX so I didn't look there.
