Anti-sieze for bottle cage bolts?
I'm using titanium bottle cage bolts on an aluminum frame with a carbon bottle cage.
Should I be using anti-sieze on them?

Either grease or Anti-Seize will work fine. Anti-Seize is a bit more reliable if you almost never maintain the bike.

Another vote for grease! Sta-Lube boat trailer wheel bearing grease. (the good blue goo)
As a note; don't use anti sieze on old "freewheels". Anti sieze is usually used in the automotive industry for exhaust header bolts/nuts, as it does not self destruct when heat is applied.
So GREASE the threads when installing a freewheel. Just another $.02 worth.

Anti Sieze is grease, it's just made with a higher metal content to make it withstand high temps.
Either works fine. Anti Sieze is a little better at staying put in extreme circumstances.

Marine bearing grease is waterproof and cost about $5/gal.
