From my extensive reading, and discussion with Mark (scaudiophile), that seems like the order of preference.

Of course, it is probably very system dependent, and I will experiment. I don't have any 50 ohm cable (yet)...
Esoteric would definitely agree with your concept of 'Best' above and further they state 10 mHz is the ultimate way to drive their equipment as evidenced by the introduction of the Grandioso G1 all 10 mHz clock.

In my own system after testing many variants of word-clock and master clocking, the best sounding setup to me is all 10 mHz with a 50-ohm BNC when the tap dictates 50-ohm. Do NOT mix impedance (the 'better' example above) as that does affect sound-staging and imaging accuracy...I know there are a lot of opinions floating around about this but late last year through Spring of this year, a number of people did a proper blind test mixing all the variants of impedance on the tap, cable impedance, etc...and it turns out the differences are not only perceivable, they are substantial. See my other post this morning on this topic....
