I strongly concur.

Using SMA/SMC connectors also makes the board more reusable as part of a
bigger system.  

I like to use vertical SMA/SMC connectors on boards and right-angle
connectors on any coax going to a board.  With this configuration, you can
cram a lot of boards in a box even at 1U height and use the remaining
vertical space for cross-connections.
