Are you going to thermo cycle the PCB? If so, be very careful and check the thermal expansion coefficient of the potting or conformal coating. I recently had an issue with SMD connectors, potting and thermo cycling and spoke to an expert at the Fraunhofer Institute about it. His comments were "If you can avoid potting, avoid it at all costs" and "SMD or through hole, both will crack, but the through hole mounted component will in general hold for a few more cycles together with potting". If the potting compound has a larger thermal expansion coefficient than the PCB and components and it can find its way under the components, then it will act as a small balloon and rip the components of the board.
See if you can find some info about space electronics. I think they are using both glue and some kind of conformal coating.
For the wiring, use multi-stranded wire, not the one with only 7 strands.
