Be aware of potential security issues if you use ports greater than 1024, as those are unprivileged and any app can bind to them.

If this is a single machine that only you have access to it may be fine. If that's not true (and it won't be if it is a machine owned by a company), then you are better sticking with privileged ports.

Of course... just using the common ports that people often quote in the obscurity arguments. Harden first, obsecure second.
