Mayf;
Ed has pretty well covered this; I'll just add this link to Loctite Nickel
Anti- Seize:

I've always applied the stuff and then run the fastener on & off by hand to
burnish the surface. I've also used Fel- Pro C100 but I think it is
basically just a molybdenum disulfide paste.

Mayf--
a) Depends on how much you tighten them, how much salt is going to be around
them, whether you lubricate the threads with anything, how hot it's going to
get, how good the threads have been cut in the holes, whether you have more
than one diameter of thread engagement and how often you expect to take them
apart.
b) Use the nickel based original Neversieze. That way you don't have to
get into questions about what are the materials, temperatures and other
application variables, That stuff has been around for 60 years that I know
of since we first started using it on fasteners on high temperature
industrial pumps and steam turbines at Worthington Pump. I started using it
on my car exhaust systems back then when I lived in New Jersey, where salt
on the roads in winter was just as common and just as much of a nuisance as
mosquitos in the summer. I never again had to buy new u-clamps for the
mufflers. (when you're young and house-poor and exhaust system repairs have
to be done in the driveway usually with it raining).
