I prefer to use adjustable clevises on both ends of a pushrod.  I don't trust
any connector with a set screw on anything but throttle.  Also, try not to have 
any bends in a pushrod if at all possible.  In many airplanes the kit shows
the two pushrods parallel to each other with a dog leg bend at the aft end.
Most of the time if you simply cross the rudder and elevator pushrods, you can
keep them absolutely straight.  Much stiffer.  It's probably not terribly important
on a trainer but on a high speed airplane a sloppy elevator can really get
you in trouble.
