I think the idea behind anti-seize on the splines is because some wheels =
don't get removed unless for cause.  Cleaning and re-lubricating more =
frequently than whenever also prevents the splines from seizing due to =
rust or anything else.

I've used various, including anti-seize, but have used wheel bearing =
grease for the last 20years/80K miles or so with no issues. =20

I'm presuming there is some tiny movement between the splines no matter =
how well fitted; anti-seize is formulated to prevent, well, seizing =
(i.e. parts rusting together).  Wheel bearing grease is formulated for =
heat and extreme pressures and to stay where its applied.  I've not used =
Cu anti-seize, but have seen the Al and Ni formulations dry out, leaving =
the finely-ground metal so rusting is prevented, but any lubricating =
qualities are largely gone.  I use anti-seize on spark plugs, and when =
you pull them out and look at the threads there is no lubricant =
remaining, only the metal.

*Flame suit on*

ps.  Ditto on the clear RTV to keep the hub and spokes clean(er).
