In general, thread locking compounds are not a good idea, especially on threaded joints that are preloaded (ie torqued to some ft-lb spec). Actually, I grease my BB threads (somewhat the opposite of a locking compound). I assume the shop is somewhat competent and can torque the BB cups to specification. As Sci-Fi suggests, teflon tape may help.
