Default Best thread sealer for alum A/N fittings

What is the best stuff to use on alum A/N fitting to stop them from gauling up when you tighten them,so when you try to remove it don't pull the threads.I'm talking pipe thread side of the fitting JOHN SR

I don't do it for a living, but have good success with loctite or permatex with PTFE.

I use ARP thread sealer on the pipe side and a little anti-seize on the AN side. Never any problems.
