I 've always favored graphite or molydbneum<sic> based anti-sieze
compounds. But that's just me...

I've got a tin of moly grease as well. I use it on... can't remember
what, actually, but some things.
The copper grese is the preferred one, though. I use that on brake
components (like the K11's caliper pins, when I replaced the pads last
weekend). Not sure if moly grease is good for high temperatures. Any
ideas?

Drive shaft splines, spider joint splines. That kind of thing. Its not bad
in wheel bearings either.

Moly is very very good at high temperatures and pressures, ie, contact
points in final drives in grease applications. As an additive for bevel
boxes, it scores very well too. Molyslip actually does what it claims to do
in gearboxes, final drives etc. Still wouldn't add it to an engines oil
supply. Much much better than the chlorinated paraffin crap.
Honda do a moly grease for their splines, as do BMW. This is a much thicker
grease than the 500g tubs from Halfords with a very high moly content. A
small tube will last years. ( thinks ) My tub of copper grease must be 20
years old at least. Its actually a metal tin, not plastic, so that ages it.
Enough left for a few more years though. My moly tub is all but empty. I
used to use moly grease on the drive chain of my MZ. Grease fling is not an
issue with that chain cover.
