Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Mount the cranks as you normally use. If you use anti-seize, be careful not to over-torque the spindle bolts, not because of fear of stripping, but because you can easily force a crank arm on too far and damage the arm.

Also note that Ti spindles aren't recommended for heavy mashers, since they are only 70% as strong as their CrMo counterparts, so flexing and breakage are more likely. (their history is such that they've proven adequate for most people, so don't read more into this than intended, it's only for heavy riders, or high torque pedal mashers (you know who you are)).
