best is different for different people.. But.. bulkhead connectors on a
bracket with waterproof connectors (or waterproofed connectors) is one
way. The familiar Cable TV drop "grounding block" works this way.
Stripping the outer jacket of the coax off, wrapping a strap around the
shield, and then waterproofing the assembly.
Adding a ground wire when attaching the connector. (this one is used a
lot on multipin connectors for aerospace use, where you don't want to
depend on the connector shell for connection to the shield)
