It is pricey, but you don't need a huge amount if you apply it properly
Rule of thumb is:
Carbon to carbon = carbon paste
Carbon to metal = carbon paste
Metal to metal = grease
Though, fwiw I've used paste in metal to metal from time to time. (e.g. saddle rail clamps on seatpost)
One watchout -- at least some pastes can be abrasive. Frequent removal/insertion can and will mar finish of some carbon components. Tape off at the insertion level at the very least to ensure you never insert too far and have to pull back up (which can mar a visible portion of your seatpost).
