Just be sure whatever you use, get the exact correct whole punch, and purchase the add on spring for the antenna, this will save you a lot of issues in the future. I use both NMO and So-239 mounts, never had one break so long as the hole is the right size and the spring is on the antenna at the base.

I¡¯m an NMO fan just because it¡¯s a fatter thread base. I¡¯ve broken off 2 259 series bases on branches. NMOs seem to have a more solid anchor.
