Skip anything tacky that may impede truing the wheel a decade from now and stick to anti-seize on all the spoke threads and nipple sockets. Use an acid brush with half the bristle length cut-off to apply.
Provided that you achieve uniform and sufficient tension (the Park TM-1 tension meter is fast, easy, and affordable for the home mechanic; although on lighter box section rims you can alternately tension and stress relieve until the wheel deforms in waves at which point you back off half a turn and re-true with $0 additional equipment costs) the wheel will stay true until you bend the rim on a road obstacle/crash although you may wear out the brake tracks before that happens.
