Never been a big fan of the silver-sleaze. BUT hey I don't think it would hurt either. Very unusual that they would seize if properly torqued, and if it were me "guaranteeing" something, if properly torqued I'd bet they will still come out even a few years later, barring any really unusual set of circumstances. I wouldn't think twice about it. Still, Todd is the one left with the end result, not us.
I agree with jlomons approach, that has worked for me in the past also, although the bolt heads look like garbage, what a relief to just get the wheel off! I used an air hammer on the top of the head, a few short bursts and that usually gets them off.
Instead of antiseize you can also just put some bearing grease on the threads, accomplishes the same thing, but you CAN get the grease off your fingers, instead of looking like you have "The Tin Mans" hands for a day or two.
