BNC to BNC should be fine. I would not however mount an ADS-B in antenna over the bent part as it is easy to find better spots.

90% of the bent whip energy is radiated in the first third of the antenna (the more vertical part).

In both cases the boxes are aft of the baggage bulkhead.

Looks like I'll have to mount the echoUAT antenna about 10' aft of the firewall (I moved the GTX320A antenna about 7' aft of firewall to keep distance to 5.5' long muffler/exhaust pipe).

But if mounting the echoUAT unit in the aft fuselage, will the WiFi signal reach the cockpit (Nexus 7 tablet running iFly GPS and for configuration of the echoUAT.) ?
