I use a copper antiseize (though with a little nervousness - Al-Cu interactions and all that; in house wiring, you try not to put aluminum and copper together, to avoid electrolytic corrosion). I'll watch this thread and see if anyone has a better suggestion. I figured conductance was a good property to encourage with spark plugs, and I definitely wanted to get them back out again.
