For what it is worth:

I use Copper Slip but without much confidence or for that matter any objective evidence apart from the possibility of the lubrication value of copper particles remaining after the barrage of thermal cycling over time - the grease assumed merely to be a carrier.

After years of drilling out, sleeves and Hellicoils I now prefer to use studs and nuts rather than set screws/bolts on the basis that a single full nut is less likely to seize solid than say two or three nut depths worth of stud thread.

I shy away from locking nuts particularly the deformed thread and nylock for obvious reasons and on the basis that threads for stainless steel threads are designed so as to reduce galling use SS nuts although not studs as I am not sure of their strength.

I too have found this.
Whenever I can studs replace bolts.
I have found stainless nuts on zinc plated washered steel studs to be great for 5 years then a full replacement
