Use anti-seize lube when installing barrel?

What kind of anti-seize lubes do you guys use on receiver threads when installing a new barrel? Or do you use any at all? Loc-Tite makes an anti seize lubricant. Would that be sufficient?

grease,
you won't need to worry about seizing or galling.

Valvoline SynPower moly-fortified grease. Available at most autoparts.

Like regular wheel bearing grease?

Wheel bearing grease is good but you want to use the stuff that is moly fortified. Moly acts as an anti seize compound.

Moly-B.

I also use this product. It's worked perfectly, and even on high round count carbines, it's maintained it's properties and not locked up the barrel nut.
