Best Anti-Seize Compound to use with Aluminium

What's the best anti-seize compound to use with aluminium?
I changed a set of plugs on an ally head today, and they were
sooo tight I feared that the thread was going to come out with
them! They'd clearly been murdered up in the past, well over the
recommended torque setting, but I mulled about a little
anti-seize compound when fitting the new plugs, to help with
future plug changes.
Obviously copper grease is not an option, so I wondered what the
best anti-seize compound would be to use?
In the end I used nothing, for fear of stripping the threads
(because of the relative increase in torque - much like wheel
studs).

I've been using this
HTML http://www.eliseparts.com/products/show/60/408/duralac/
on most
parts on the Land Rover where steel meets ally, not 100% sure it
would be OK for somewhere as hot as the head though.

On our APC due to being an aluminium hull with steel components
bolted onto it we always use Duralac between the faces, it's
great stuff
