Response:

Try to stay away from the 3 and 4 row connectors.  The leads seem to get
bent in the packaging and handling and they are a reel pain in the  @%$#&%.
Also I suggest to not use a SMT connector that requires "hardware"
(nuts,bolts,washers,etc.) for attachment.  This further complicates the
process.  Samtec seems to make a good connector available in several
configurations, some are machine placeable.
