I think the advised standard for aluminum alloys is zinc based anti sieze..

LoctiteŽ Zinc Anti-Seize

LoctiteŽ Zinc Anti-Seize (formerly C-638) is a smooth, homogenous mixture of zinc dust and petrolatum. It prevents seizing during assembly or disassembly of threaded or unthreaded metal joints--particuarly if these metal joints involve aluminum or aluminum alloys. Zinc Anti-Seize also provides corrosion protection for both aluminum and ferrous metal (iron Base) components. Within a metal threaded connection, it acts like an “internal galvanize” using the electrochemical properties of the zinc dust to protect iron surfaces.

But there are a slew of them, and my guess is you're also good with the graphite based ones, too.

If I had to guess, I'd guess that almost anything on the threads will work unless you
are in some very wet or otherwise corrosive conditions (like near the ocean.)

There's a current thread on creaking in BB units here.

Is yours a similar type ?(sorry, but I don't know from your numbers.)

If so, you might consider this ahead of time.
