[Antennas] Anti-Corrosion Compound

What are the thoughts about anti-corrosion compounds (good, better, 
best) to use on aluminum tubing sections, clamps, and screws when 
assembling an antenna.  I am redoing a Butternut vertical after about 4 
years of use and found a fair amount of white corrosion around the 
connections.  I live in coastal FL near to but not on the water so salt 
spray is not a issue.  I would like to use something that is not so 
esoteric that I can't get it locally.  I thought about the Permatex 
anti-seize available at auto parts stores or the anti-oxidant joint 
compound from Home Depot.
